Operation Sindoor: 4 Jaish-e-Mohammed, 3 of Lashkar-e-Taiba, 2 of Hizbul Mujahideen terror groups hit

India has launched Operation Sindoor, a precision strike on 9 terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The Government of India confirmed it as a non-escalatory and measured military response, emphasizing that no Pakistani Army posts were targeted. A press conference is expected soon to outline further details.

At least four targets of Jaish-e-Mohammed, 3 of Lashkar-e-Taiba, 2 of Hizbul Mujahideen terror groups hit in intelligence-based IAF strikes, sources said.

The operation signals India’s intent to respond to cross-border threats with strategic restraint. Indian armed forces carried out missile attacks early Wednesday on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including Bahawalpur which is a major base of Jaish-e-Mohammad terror outfit. The military strikes were carried out under ‘Operation Sindoor’, the Indian Army said in a statement released at 1.44 am.

“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,” the Army said. It said the actions by the Indian Armed forces have been “focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature”. “No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution,” the Indian Army said.
