India has for the first time publicly disclosed the names of six Indian soldiers who died during last year's four-day military conflict with Pakistan, Indian media reported on Friday.

The names of five Indian army soldiers and one Air Force personnel have been published in the 'Roll of Honour' section of the National War Memorial website. They are identified as Pawan Kumar, Sunil Kumar, Dinesh Kumar, Murali Naik, Sunil Kumar Singh of the Army, and Surendra Kumar of the Air Force.

According to reports from The Times of India, Hindustan Times and NDTV, the names will also be permanently inscribed at the National War Memorial located at the iconic India Gate Circle in New Delhi.

On May 7, 2025, India launched military strikes — dubbed 'Operation Sindoor' — on what it said was 'terrorist infrastructure' in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The operation was in retaliation to a deadly militant attack in India-administered Kashmir's Pahalgam days earlier, which left 26 Indian tourists, mostly Hindu men, dead.

India blamed Pakistan for backing the militant group behind the attack. Islamabad denied New Delhi's claim.
