Pakistan acknowledges India strikes 7 additional targets in Operation Sindoor. What it reveals
A newly released Pakistani document has revealed previously undisclosed details about India's precision strikes during last month's four-day clashes, identifying at least seven previously unknown targets.
The document lists Indian strikes in Peshawar (Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa), Attock, Bahawalnagar, Chhor and Hyderabad (Sindh), as well as Gujrat and Jhang (Punjab).
According to a report by Hindustan Times, Bahawalnagar hosts an army cantonment, while Gujrat district houses Pakistan's largest cantonment in Kharian. In Jhang district, the Shorkot cantonment lies adjacent to the Rafiqui airbase, which was also targeted by Indian missile strikes.
The Desert Warfare School of the Pakistan Army is based in the Chhor cantonment, and Hyderabad similarly contains a military cantonment, Hindustan Times reported.
These disclosures were part of Pakistan's report on Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, launched in response to India's Operation Sindoor.
Following the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 civilian lives, India conducted calibrated strikes on May 7, targeting four terror hubs in Pakistan and five in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
These precision strikes were aimed at dismantling cross-border terror infrastructure while deliberately avoiding Pakistani military bases and civilian areas.
The targets included the Sawai Nala camp in Muzaffarabad, the Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters at Markaz Taiba in Muridke, and the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters at Markaz Subhan in Bahawalpur.
In response to Pakistan's escalation—marked by missile attacks and drone swarms directed at Indian military bases and civilian locations—the Indian Air Force retaliated by striking at least nine Pakistani airbases and four military radar installations.

The UK's naval contingent included HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Richmond. advertisementThe exercise highlighted advanced operational coordination and interoperability between the two forces. With synchronised tactical manoeuvres and unified helicopter control operations, both navies demonstrated their readiness and high-end combat capabilities. The professional exchange of officers further cemented the bond between the Indian and Royal Navies, reinforcing ties beyond routine joint drills. This engagement comes on the heels of the Indian Navy's prominent role in Operation Sindoor, where it was forward-deployed in the North Arabian Sea. The exercise served as a testament to the operational strength and combat preparedness of Indian naval units, both surface and underwater. Indian submarines and warships were instrumental in executing complex maritime tasks during the operation, earning them recognition as some of the most capable units joint PASSEX carries strategic significance due to its location. The North Arabian Sea remains a critical maritime corridor for global trade, including essential energy shipments. Conducting joint drills in this region reflects a shared commitment by India and the United Kingdom to maintaining maritime stability, safeguarding sea lines of communication, and projecting a credible naval presence in the exercise also reflects the growing maritime collaboration between the two nations, emphasising a rules-based international order and underscoring the Indo-Pacific's importance in global geopolitics.

Setback for India: Jairam Ramesh after US general praises Pakistan's terror fight
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh questioned the Indian government on Wednesday over recent remarks by a top United States military official praising Pakistan's counter-terrorism efforts. Taking to X, Ramesh wrote, 'Recently, the head of the US Central Command called Pakistan a 'great partner in the counter-terrorism campaign'. What will our Prime Minister and his ovation say to this? Is this not a diplomatic setback for India?'advertisementHis statement followed US Central Command chief General Michael Kurilla's testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, where the outgoing commander described Pakistan as a 'phenomenal partner' in counter-terrorism comments came at a time when India had been actively campaigning to expose Pakistan's support for cross-border terrorism, particularly after the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in April. During the hearing, General Kurilla urged Washington not to adopt a zero-sum approach in South Asia, stating that the US must maintain strategic relations with both India and Pakistan."We need to have a relationship with Pakistan and with India. I do not believe it is a binary switch that we can't have one with Pakistan if we have a relationship with India,' he said. 'We should look at the merits of the relationship for the positives that it has.'advertisementKurilla's remarks came even as India stepped up diplomatic efforts to hold Pakistan accountable for its alleged role in the Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 people on April 22. In response, India carried out precision air strikes on terror infrastructure across the border in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May military escalation ended on May 10 after the Directors General of Military Operations from both countries reached an officials, including External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, had reiterated that India would not accept any equivalence between victims of terrorism and the perpetrators. New Delhi also expressed concern over multiple international responses that appeared to hyphenate India and Pakistan during the brief military Kurilla, who is expected to retire later this summer, also spoke about Pakistan's role in combatting the Islamic State's regional affiliate, ISIS-Khorasan, also known as IS-KP. He acknowledged efforts by the Pakistani military and army chief General Asim Munir in countering the terror Watch

FIR into brutal killing of stray dog in Sec 20, Pkl
Panchkula: A gut-wrenching murder of a stray dog shook the elite residential area of Sector 20 Panchkula on Sunday morning. Sheru, a community dog from the vegetable mandi, was found dead with grave injures and all four limbs tied in the early morning by resident Preeti Pahwa, who used to feed Sheru. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Preeti said, "Sheru was a very friendly, healthy and vaccinated dog. I found him with his feet tied with tight ropes, blood oozing from his mouth along with a blue-coloured liquid and called the police on the spot. The criminals tied his limbs so that he can't run to save his life, how low can human beings fall?" According to Preeti, this is the fourth dog in the same area that has been murdered similarly in the last one month. "We suspect all these dogs are being poisoned and if these criminals are not found, they will kill all other stray dogs too," she added. On Tuesday, Siddharth Arora, advocate in Punjab & Haryana high court, filed a legal representation with the deputy commissioner of police, Panchkula, seeking registration of an FIR in the case after the SHO Sector 20 Panchkula police station on Monday refused an FIR. Subsequently, on Wednesday, the police registered an FIR in the matter, Arora said. "We had submitted a written representation to the DCP u/s Section 173BNSS u/s 325 BNS & S 11(1)(L) of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals act (1960) on behalf of the complainants, Preeti Pahwa and other residents, and this comes in the aftermath of blatant refusal of ASI Kuldip Singh and SHO Somvir Dhaka of Sector 20 Police Station to register FIR," he added. Preeti and other feeders, Mudita, Ruma and Savita had put up a fight for an autopsy of Sheru's body at Pet Animal Centre, a govt veterinary hospital in Sector 3, Panchkula. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "There was no vet at the hospital, being a Sunday. But after a lot of pressure, we managed to get the autopsy done on Sheru from the hospital," says Preeti. A postmortem report confirmed that the dog was poisoned before being brutally tied up and discarded in nearby bushes. She said, "If justice has to be served to these voiceless animals, stern action must be taken against those committing such a heartless crime, especially when the Indian law had made cruelty towards animals a cognizable offence." Saud Somvir Dhaka, SHO, Sector 20, said, "We are investigating the death of this dog and Kuldip Singh will lead the investigation."
