Operation Sindoor: Know Why India Targeted Jaish & Lashkar Camps In Pakistan After Pahalgam Massacre
Multiple blasts were witnessed at different places in Pakistan and PoK, and videos captured major explosions. Nine terrorist camps were targeted in the operation, according to the Indian Army.
The operation was a coordinated multi-domain operation, carried out by the Indian Army, Navy, and the Air Force. No Indian jets were lost in the operation, sources ensured.
Sources stated that the primary aim of 'Operation Sindoor' was to eliminate top leaders of Jaish-e-Mohammed, based in Bahawalpur, and Lashkar-e-Taiba, based in Muridke. The operation was planned based on intelligence provided by India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), which supplied the coordinates for the nine key locations targeted. India's National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval, reportedly held over 15 high-level meetings to oversee the operation's planning and execution.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was closely following the operation from his official residence, 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, with minute-to-minute inputs from NSA Doval.
After the success of the operation, political leaders and politicians from all over India congratulated the Indian Army, posting graphics with the word 'Operation Sindoor'.
A statement issued by the Indian Army said that the operation was aimed at terrorist infrastructure in PoK and Pakistan where plans were being made and coordinated to launch attacks against India. "Our response was focused, calibrated, and non-retaliatory," the statement said. "No Pakistani military installations were hit. India exercised a lot of restraint in target selection."
The statement went on further to highlight India's determination to bring the perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack to justice. "We have credible evidence pointing towards Pakistan-based terrorists' involvement in this attack," it continued.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif decried the missile attacks as an "act of war" and reaffirmed that he would respond suitably. He confirmed that India had mounted attacks under 'Operation Sindoor' in five places in Pakistan.

Pakistan launches new security operation against militants near Afghan border
Pakistani security forces have launched a 'targeted operation' against militants in a restive northwestern district bordering Afghanistan, displacing tens of thousands of residents who have fled to safer areas, officials said Tuesday (August 12, 2025). There was no formal announcement of the launch of the offensive in Bajaur, a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, but a government administrator, Saeed Ullah, said it was not a large-scale operation and only insurgent hideouts were being hit to avoid civilian casualties. Another government administrator, Shahhid Ali, said the number of displaced people had rapidly increased to nearly 100,000. Residents reported that security forces, backed by helicopters, struck militant hideouts in the mountainous areas along the Afghan border. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police chief Zulfiqar Hameed said the operation was ongoing. Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP, are a separate group but a close ally of the Afghan Taliban, who seized power in Afghanistan in August 2021, as U.S. and NATO troops were in the final stages of their pullout from the country after 20 years of war. Many TTP leaders and fighters have found sanctuary in Afghanistan and have been living there openly since the Taliban takeover, and some have crossed the border back into Bajaur and carried out attacks. Pakistan also carried out a major operation in Bajaur against Pakistani and foreign militants in 2009, displacing hundreds of thousands of people.
