In response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the Indian armed forces on Wednesday morning launched strikes on nine terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The Ministry of Defence said in a statement that “focused strikes” were against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK, targeting the roots of cross-border terror planning.
Here's a list of the nine targets
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Directorate of Public Relations, Ministry of Defence stated, "India has launched Operation Sindoor, a precise and restrained response to the barbaric Pahalgam Terror Attack that claimed 26 lives, including one Nepali citizen. Focused strikes were carried out on nine #terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, targeting the roots of cross-border terror planning."
The statement emphasised the operation's measured and non-escalatory nature. "Importantly, no Pakistani military facilities were hit, reflecting India's calibrated and non-escalatory approach. This operation underscores India's resolve to hold perpetrators accountable while avoiding unnecessary provocation."
The Ministry of Defence also issued a formal press release confirming the scope and targets of the strikes. “A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched 'OPERATION SINDOOR', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed,” it added.
