Question map
Which one of the following military operations was not undertaken by India ?
Explanation
Operation Spider's Web was not an Indian military operation; it was a counter-terrorism operation conducted by the United States and its allies in Afghanistan. In contrast, the other options are significant Indian military actions. Operation Trident was a decisive naval offensive launched by the Indian Navy on December 4, 1971, targeting Karachi port during the Indo-Pakistani War [2]. This operation is commemorated annually as Navy Day in India. Operation Ablaze was a major mobilization of the Indian Army in 1965 following Pakistani incursions in the Rann of Kutch. Operation Bandar was the official codename for the Indian Air Force's 2019 Balakot airstrikes, conducted in retaliation for the Pulwama terror attack. While the provided snippets detail Operation Trident [2] and mention general military responses to incursions [1], internal knowledge confirms that Operation Spider's Web is not part of India's military history.
