Schools shutdown to airport closure: Multiple Indian states on high alert | Here's what's closed after Operation Sindoor

After&nbsp;India's military strike on nine terror sites under Operation Sindoor in PoK and Pakistan, a pool of misinformation has emerged from Pak media and its government in the aftermath of the strike by India on Wednesday (May 7). Many of the social media handles of Pakistan has falsely claimed that Pakistan had retaliated by launching missile strikes at 15 locations inside India.&nbsp;Some even claimed that Srinagar Airbase had been hit by the Pakistan Air Force and that an Indian Army Brigade Headquarters had been destroyed.&nbsp;

Such claims were heavily circulated on the social media platform X by accounts linked with the Pakistani military.&nbsp;
The Press Information Bureau(PIB) rejected all such false claims.&nbsp;
"In a video shared by several pro-Pakistan handles, it is being falsely claimed that the Pakistan Airforce has targeted Srinagar airbase. The video shared is old and NOT from India. The video is from sectarian clashes that took place in the year 2024, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Rely only on official Government of India sources for authentic Information," PIB said on X.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
The nine camps struck by the Indian forces were located both in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK).&nbsp;
Below is a detailed breakdown:
<h2>Camps targeted in Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir</h2>
&nbsp;
&gt; Sawai Nala Camp, Muzaffarabad&nbsp;
- The Sawai Nala Camp, located in Muzaffarabad in POJK, is 30 kilometres from on Line of Control (LoC) in Tangdhar Sector.&nbsp;It was a key training facility of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, the main terror group implicated in the Pahalgam attack.&nbsp;
This terror module was the germination centre for the attack on civilians and security forces in Sonmarg on 20 October 2024, Gulmarg on 24 October 2024 and the Pahalgam attack, the government said.
&nbsp;
&gt; &nbsp;Syedna Belal Camp, Muzaffarabad
This terror camp of Jaish- e-Mohammad, founded by Maulana Masood Azhar, was being used as staging area for attacks, as well as to train terrorists in weapons, explosives and jungle cum survival techniques for carrying out such attacks across LoC in Kashmir.
&gt; Gulpur Camp, Kotli&nbsp;
This base, 30 kilometres from the LoC, was used by LeT terrorists operating in Rajauri-Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.&nbsp; Terrorists trained in this base had carried out attacks in Poonch on 20 April 2023, and on pilgrims in a bus on 9 June 2024. &nbsp;This camp was frequently visited by Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, to give speeches of indoctrination and terror motivation.&nbsp;
 &gt; Abbas Camp, Kotli&nbsp;
This camp is &nbsp;13 kilometres away from the LoC opposite Rajauri and the nerve centre for the training of suicide bombers of LeT.&nbsp;
This camp has training infrastructure for about 50 terrorists, according to the Indian government.
 &gt; Barnala Camp, Bhimber&nbsp;
Located 9 km from LoC opposite Rajauri-Poonch Sector, the camp was used for training terrorists in handling weapons, making improvised explosive devices (IED), as well as for jungle survival techniques.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Camps targeted inside Pakistan&nbsp;</h2>
&gt; Sarjal Camp, Sialkot&nbsp;
This camp is located about 6 km from the International Border opposite Samba-Kathua.&nbsp;
The terrorists who killed four personnel of the Jammu and Kashmir Police in March 2025 were trained and launched from this camp, according to the Indian officials.&nbsp;
&gt; Mehmoona Joya Camp, Sialkot&nbsp;
This camp, nearly 12 km from the International Boundary near Sialkot, was a key training facility of the Hizbul Mujahideen terror group. It was used as the control centre in the revival of terrorism in the Kathua and Jammu regions. The Pathankot Air Force Base attack was planned and directed from this camp.&nbsp;
&gt; Markaz Taiba, Muridke&nbsp;
Located around 25 kilometres from the international boundary, this was the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba led by Hafiz Saeed. Terrorists trained in Muridke have been linked to the Mumbai attacks.

Destroyed: Mumbai attacker Ajmal Kasab's training camp, HQs of Jaish, LeT, 3 decades of terror infra smoked by India's Operation Sindoor

On Wednesday (May 7), India executed a daring tri-services strike&mdash;Operation Sindoor&mdash;hitting nine terror camps deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The mission, a direct response to the Pahalgam massacre that killed 26 civilians on April 22, was carried out with stunning precision. All 24 missile impacts evaded Pakistan&rsquo;s air defense systems, raising critical questions: How did India&rsquo;s missiles bypass radar detection? Why did Pakistan&rsquo;s HQ-9, LY-80, and JF-17 Thunder fighters fail? Here&rsquo;s a comprehensive breakdown of what really happened in the skies.

<h2>Pakistan&rsquo;s Air Defense: Designed to Deter, Not Deflect</h2>
<h3>Pakistan's multi-layered air defense grid includes:</h3>
HQ-9P/HQ-9BE: Long-range systems (100&ndash;200 km), based on Chinese tech, with H-200 radars&mdash;effective in theory, but less capable against low-altitude or stealthy threats.
LY-80 (HQ-16): Medium-range (40&ndash;70 km) SAMs, vulnerable to high-speed missiles like BrahMos.
FD-2000: An HQ-9 export variant, struggling with low-level, fast-flying threats.
JF-17 Thunder: The backbone of Pakistan&rsquo;s air force, only ~50 equipped with AESA radars (Block III). Most variants lack capability to detect terrain-hugging or stealth missiles.
Despite being spread across key regions like Rawalpindi, Karachi, and Bahawalpur, these systems showed critical gaps&mdash;especially against modern, precision-guided munitions.
India&rsquo;s Missile Arsenal: Built to Evade, Strike, and Vanish
1. SCALP Cruise Missile
Type: Subsonic, stealthy, terrain-hugging
Range: ~560 km
Specialty: Flies just 30&ndash;50 meters above ground, avoiding radar by skimming the terrain.
Usage: Fired from Rafales, targeting Muzaffarabad, Bahawalpur, and Muridke. Launched from Indian airspace, it dodged HQ-9 radars with ease.
2. HAMMER Precision Bombs
Type: Smart glide bomb
Guidance: GPS/INS-based
Advantage: Small size, low radar profile; released from high altitudes and glides silently to targets like JeM headquarters.
3. BrahMos Supersonic Missile (Probable Use)
Speed: Mach 2.8&ndash;3.0
Flight Path: Sea-skimming-like, altitude as low as 10&ndash;15 meters
Impact: Too fast for LY-80 or HQ-9 to react. Even 100 km is covered in under 30 seconds.
4. Loitering Munitions (Speculative)
Function: Drone-like systems for pinpoint strikes
Strength: Extremely stealthy and radar-evading due to slow, low-altitude flight
Tactics That Beat the Radar
1. Low-Altitude Flight
SCALP and BrahMos fly below radar detection thresholds&mdash;hugging terrain or using Earth&rsquo;s curvature to remain unseen. Mountains near Muzaffarabad and Kotli amplified these blind spots.
2. Stealth and Speed
SCALP&rsquo;s stealth design and BrahMos&rsquo;s blistering velocity overwhelmed Pakistan&rsquo;s tracking systems. The small size of HAMMER bombs further helped evade detection.
3. Standoff Launch Strategy
Rafales never entered Pakistani airspace. They launched missiles from bases like Ambala or Jammu, staying beyond the reach of HQ-9 or LY-80 interceptors.
4. Surprise and Timing
Strikes began at 1:44 a.m.&mdash;a time when radar operators and patrols like JF-17s were likely inactive. This minimized early warning and reaction.
5. Electronic Warfare (Unconfirmed but Likely)
India&rsquo;s Rafales carry SPECTRA electronic warfare suites capable of jamming or spoofing enemy radars. This may have disrupted Pakistan&rsquo;s air defense coordination.
<h2>The JF-17 Thunder: Too Little, Too Late</h2>
Pakistan&rsquo;s JF-17s, especially Blocks I and II, lack AESA radars and advanced infrared tracking systems:
Detection Issue: Couldn&rsquo;t detect SCALP or HAMMER flying low and slow.
Interception Limits: Not equipped with suitable missiles to shoot down cruise missiles.
Response Time: No real-time air patrols at night; fighters scrambled after the damage was done.
Dubious Claims: Pakistan&rsquo;s claim of downing five Indian jets remains unverified. No pilot was captured, and any crashes were likely due to mechanical failure or SAMs.
<h2>Why Pakistan&rsquo;s Defenses Collapsed</h2>
<h3>Technological Inferiority</h3>
Compared to India&rsquo;s S-400 or Barak-8, Pakistan&rsquo;s HQ-9 and LY-80 systems are outdated and struggle with stealth/supersonic threats.
<h3>Poor Radar Coverage</h3>
Many targets (e.g., Bahawalpur, Kotli, Muzaffarabad) lay in radar shadows or lightly guarded civilian zones.
<h3>Time and Terrain</h3>
Strikes were timed to exploit low alertness, and terrain aided low-flying missiles in remaining undetected.
<h3>Lack of Coordination</h3>
Pakistan&rsquo;s integrated air defense network (IADS) showed signs of poor real-time coordination and response lag.
<h3>Conclusion: The Message from Sindoor</h3>
India&rsquo;s Operation Sindoor was a masterclass in strategic planning and modern warfare. Using stealth, standoff, and surprise, India outsmarted Pakistan&rsquo;s air defence grid. The success of 24 missile strikes&mdash;without a single interception&mdash;exposes not only technological gaps in Pakistan&rsquo;s systems but also doctrinal weaknesses in detecting and responding to asymmetric aerial threats. While Pakistan retaliated with JF-17-led strikes, the real story lies in what wasn&rsquo;t intercepted&mdash;and what that says about the future of air warfare in South Asia.

On Wednesday (May 7), India executed a daring tri-services strike—Operation Sindoor—hitting nine terror camps deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. India news

On Wednesday (May 7), India executed a daring tri-services strike—Operation Sindoor—hitting nine terror camps deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The mission, a direct response to the Pahalgam massacre that killed 26 civilians on April 22, was carried out with stunning precision. All 24 missile impacts evaded Pakistan’s air defense systems, raising critical questions: How did India’s missiles bypass radar detection? Why did Pakistan’s HQ-9, LY-80, and JF-17 Thunder fighters fail? Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of what really happened in the skies. Also read: Operation Sindoor LIVE: Indian Army shares exact timing of military strike targetwise- WATCH Pakistan’s Air Defense: Designed to Deter, Not Deflect Pakistan's multi-layered air defense grid includes: HQ-9P/HQ-9BE: Long-range systems (100–200 km), based on Chinese tech, with H-200 radars—effective in theory, but less capable against low-altitude or stealthy threats. LY-80 (HQ-16): Medium-range (40–70 km) SAMs, vulnerable to high-speed missiles like BrahMos. FD-2000: An HQ-9 export variant, struggling with low-level, fast-flying threats. JF-17 Thunder: The backbone of Pakistan’s air force, only ~50 equipped with AESA radars (Block III). Most variants lack capability to detect terrain-hugging or stealth missiles. Despite being spread across key regions like Rawalpindi, Karachi, and Bahawalpur, these systems showed critical gaps—especially against modern, precision-guided munitions. India’s Missile Arsenal: Built to Evade, Strike, and Vanish 1. SCALP Cruise Missile Type: Subsonic, stealthy, terrain-hugging Range: ~560 km Specialty: Flies just 30–50 meters above ground, avoiding radar by skimming the terrain. Usage: Fired from Rafales, targeting Muzaffarabad, Bahawalpur, and Muridke. Launched from Indian airspace, it dodged HQ-9 radars with ease. 2. HAMMER Precision Bombs Type: Smart glide bomb Guidance: GPS/INS-based Advantage: Small size, low radar profile; released from high altitudes and glides silently to targets like JeM headquarters. 3. BrahMos Supersonic Missile (Probable Use) Speed: Mach 2.8–3.0 Flight Path: Sea-skimming-like, altitude as low as 10–15 meters Impact: Too fast for LY-80 or HQ-9 to react. Even 100 km is covered in under 30 seconds. 4. Loitering Munitions (Speculative) Function: Drone-like systems for pinpoint strikes Strength: Extremely stealthy and radar-evading due to slow, low-altitude flight Tactics That Beat the Radar 1. Low-Altitude Flight SCALP and BrahMos fly below radar detection thresholds—hugging terrain or using Earth’s curvature to remain unseen. Mountains near Muzaffarabad and Kotli amplified these blind spots. 2. Stealth and Speed SCALP’s stealth design and BrahMos’s blistering velocity overwhelmed Pakistan’s tracking systems. The small size of HAMMER bombs further helped evade detection. 3. Standoff Launch Strategy Rafales never entered Pakistani airspace. They launched missiles from bases like Ambala or Jammu, staying beyond the reach of HQ-9 or LY-80 interceptors. 4. Surprise and Timing Strikes began at 1:44 a.m.—a time when radar operators and patrols like JF-17s were likely inactive. This minimized early warning and reaction. 5. Electronic Warfare (Unconfirmed but Likely) India’s Rafales carry SPECTRA electronic warfare suites capable of jamming or spoofing enemy radars. This may have disrupted Pakistan’s air defense coordination. The JF-17 Thunder: Too Little, Too Late Pakistan’s JF-17s, especially Blocks I and II, lack AESA radars and advanced infrared tracking systems: Detection Issue: Couldn’t detect SCALP or HAMMER flying low and slow. Interception Limits: Not equipped with suitable missiles to shoot down cruise missiles. Response Time: No real-time air patrols at night; fighters scrambled after the damage was done. Dubious Claims: Pakistan’s claim of downing five Indian jets remains unverified. No pilot was captured, and any crashes were likely due to mechanical failure or SAMs. Why Pakistan’s Defenses Collapsed Technological Inferiority Compared to India’s S-400 or Barak-8, Pakistan’s HQ-9 and LY-80 systems are outdated and struggle with stealth/supersonic threats.

Operation Sindoor | How India’s stealth missiles pierced skies as Pakistan’s air defenses crumbled

The daily retreat ceremony, which is held at the Wagha Attari border, has been cancelled until further notice, citing security reasons. This cancellation comes following the Indian Army's strategic strike targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, in the early hours of May 7.

<h2>Significance of the retreat</h2>
Before the opening of Aman Setu, the Wagah Attari Border was the only road link between these two countries. It is globally recognised as Beating Retreat Ceremony, and it attracts tourists from both nations as well as international visitors.
The ceremony ritualistically follows the timing of evening, just before sunset, with both sides engaging in innocuous gesturing following a bustling parade. The event ends with the lowering and folding of both the flags by infantrymen from respective countries.&nbsp;

This marks the end of a 66-year-long ritual of India's&nbsp; Border Security Force and Pakistan Rangers. This ceremony, which had been a symbol of India and Pakistan's relations, had evolved over the years from aggressive posturing during the drill to exchanging smiles and handshakes in 2010.&nbsp;

This cancellation implies an interpretation from the authorities of further escalation in the regional tension. The symbolic ceremony, which is a major tourist attraction and signifies India-Pakistan diplomatic and military relations, has often been suspended during times of heightened tension.
The recent pause, however, signifies a different weight as it comes in the wake of a major terror attack on Pahalgham, Kashmir on April 22, 2025 and a sharp retaliation from India with the initiation of Operation Sindoor. This move underscores the gravity of the situation and the priority of the Indian government to ensure the safety of the civilians.

"A group calling itself &ldquo;The Resistance Front&rdquo; has claimed responsibility for the attack. This group is a front for the UN-proscribed Pakistani terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Taiba. It is notable that India had given inputs about the TRF in the half-yearly report to the monitoring team of the UN's 1267 Sanctions Committee in May and November 2024, bringing out its role as a cover for Pakistan-based terrorist groups," Misri said.
Misri further informed that in December 2023, India had informed the monitoring team about Lashkar and Jaish-e-Mohammad operating through small terror groups such as the TRF. He said that Pakistan exposed itself when it attempted to remove references to TRF from the UNSC press statement.&nbsp;
"Pakistan's pressure to remove references to TRF in the April 25 UN Security Council Press Statement is notable in this regard."
"Investigations into the Pahalgam terror attack have brought out the communication notes of terrorists in and to Pakistan. The claims made by the Resistance Front and their reposting by known social media handles of the Lashkar-e-Taiba speak for themselves. Identification of the attackers based on eyewitness accounts, as well as other information available to law enforcement agencies, has also progressed. Our intelligence has developed an accurate picture of the planners and backers of this team.The features of this attack also tie in with Pakistan's long track record of perpetrating cross-border terror in India, which is well documented, and beyond question," Misri stated in his statement after Operation Sindoor.

After the attack, India launched a series of actions against Pakistan. The Indian government put into abeyance the Indus Waters Treaty, expelled its diplomats, called back Indian officials from Islamabad, and closed the Attari border, its airspace for Pakistani flights and ships, parcels and imports from Pakistan. New Delhi has also blocked the Instagram accounts of several Pakistani cricketers and celebrities. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said, "I say to the whole world. India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the ends of the earth." World leaders have urged both countries to exercise restraint but have also sided with India in its fight against terror.
