Operation Sindoor: Why India Hit LeT's Muridke Markaz Four Times

The Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of Wednesday, targeting nine locations linked to terror groups in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The strikes were a &ldquo;focused, measured and non-escalatory&rdquo; response to the recent attack in Jammu and Kashmir&rsquo;s Pahalgam, where 26 civilians were brutally killed after being singled out by terrorists.
Here are 4 key questions, answered:
<h2>1. What makes Operation Sindoor India&rsquo;s most powerful cross-border strike?</h2>
Launched at 1.05 am on Wednesday, Operation Sindoor was not only a major strike, it was India&rsquo;s largest cross-border anti-terror operation since the 1971 war. The offensive hit nine terror-linked sites, including key launchpads and the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, both of which have a long record of attacks on Indian soil.

What makes this different is the scale and geographical spread. Unlike past strikes, which mostly focused on PoK or its edges, this time four targets were deep inside Pakistan&rsquo;s Punjab, in the districts of Bahawalpur, Sialkot and Sheikhupura.
<h2>2. Is this a turning point in how India responds to terror?</h2>
India has responded militarily to terror attacks before, like in 2016, after soldiers were killed in Uri, and in 2019, after the Pulwama bombing. But both of those counter-strikes focused on camps in PoK or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Here's&nbsp;what&nbsp;it&nbsp;means</a>
This time, the target list included sites well within Pakistan&rsquo;s mainland, signalling a possible shift in India&rsquo;s posture. Though the strikes were carefully calibrated to avoid hitting Pakistani military facilities, experts say this operation may mark a new threshold in cross-border responses.
<h2>3. Could this trigger a full-scale conflict between India and Pakistan?</h2>
There are concerns that this could lead to a wider crisis between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. Some security analysts have already called it the &ldquo;most dangerous&rdquo; standoff since 2002, even more serious than the Uri or Balakot episodes.

<h2>4. Will Pakistan strike back after India&rsquo;s latest operation?</h2>
Pakistan's leadership has signalled that they might hit back. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the country has the right to give a &ldquo;befitting reply&rdquo; and added that both the military and the people of Pakistan are united.
&ldquo;The entire nation is with the Pakistani Armed Forces, and the morale and spirit of the entire Pakistani nation is high. The Pakistani nation and the Pakistani Armed Forces know how to deal with the enemy very well,&rdquo; his statement read.
