In a military operation following the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 civilian lives, India launched 'Operation Sindoor', striking nine high-value terror targets deep inside Pakistani territory.
The operation, executed with surgical precision, was closely monitored by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior security officials through the night.
The Indian Army confirmed that the strikes were meticulously planned and executed, ensuring that no civilian or military infrastructure in Pakistan was affected. The operation targeted infrastructure linked to terror groups responsible for the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen in Jammu and Kashmir.
Sources said the Prime Minister remained in constant communication with top military commanders and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval during the operation.
According to official statements, the nine targets included camps and logistical bases associated with terror groups operating from within Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The Indian Army's spokesperson emphasised the precise nature of the strikes, stating, "Our actions have been focused and precise. We have only targeted terrorist camps from where attacks against India have been planned and executed."
