According to the Ministry of Defence, the Indian Armed Forces hit nine terror-linked sites in Pakistan and PoK. The move was described as “focused, measured and non-escalatory,” with clear efforts made to avoid striking Pakistani military facilities.

The strikes came in response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 civilians, including one Nepali national, were killed. The attackers reportedly singled out and targeted unarmed tourists.

‘Justice is served,’ says Indian Army

At 1:51 am, shortly after the strikes, the Indian Army posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Justice is served. Jai Hind!”

This came minutes after loud explosions were reported in areas like Muzaffarabad and Bahawalpur in Pakistan. A few minutes later, the Press Information Bureau issued an official statement confirming Operation Sindoor.

The statement read, “India announces Operation Sindoor against terror infrastructure in Pakistan,” the statement read, linking the operation directly to the Pahalgam attack on April 22. That assault saw terrorists open fire on unarmed civilians in the Baisaran Valley of Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, killing 25 Indian citizens and one Nepali national, most of them tourists."

“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. Altogether, nine (9) sites have been targeted,” it added.
