‘BSF hit 72 Pakistani posts': New video shows precision strikes in Operation Sindoor
A dramatic new video from Operation Sindoor on Tuesday shows the Border Security Force's (BSF) precision strikes on terror launchpads deep inside Pakistani territory.
The visuals show Pakistan Rangers scrambling for cover as Indian forces target key terror targets. The video also captures the destruction of Pakistani army posts, highlighting the scale and accuracy of the operation. The footage serves as a clear message about India's firm response to cross-border threats and its growing emphasis on transparency through on-camera military action.
Addressing the media on Tuesday, inspector general of BSF, Jammu Frontier, Shashank Anand said the BSF destroyed multiple terror launch pads in Akhnoor, Samba, and RS Pura sectors, including those in Loni, Mastpur, and Chabbra.
'On May 9–10, Pakistan opened unprovoked fire in the Akhnoor sector, targeting BSF posts. In response, we hit the Loni launch pad linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and caused significant damage,' Anand said.
He added that Operation Sindoor is on as Pakistan cannot be trusted.
He was replying to a question about the possibility of infiltration of terrorists along the IB under the cover of Pakistani shelling and the security measures taken post Operation Sindoor.
He said a high degree of operational preparedness has been maintained along the border.
Noting that the BSF had foiled infiltration bids in the past, the officials said they had thwarted an infiltration attempt by 40 to 50 suspected terrorists along the IB during shelling with preemptive strikes.
He added that the BSF had successfully foiled a major infiltration attempt involving suspected terrorists who were trying to cross over under the cover of Pakistani shelling in the Sialkot sector.
DIG Chitterpal Singh said Pakistan used drones and targeted villages like Abdullian using various weapons.
'We responded by destroying several enemy posts, towers, and bunkers. Around 72 Pakistani posts and 47 forward posts were hit. In contrast, BSF suffered no loss of assets or infrastructure,' he said.
Referring to the drone threat, Anand said Pakistan had used low-flying drones to drop payloads on BSF posts, resulting in casualties of three personnel.
'We are enhancing surveillance and defensive measures. CIBMS (Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System) has been in place since 2017, and we are integrating more advanced technologies in the coming months,' he said.
Anand reiterated the BSF's commitment to both security and civilian welfare. 'We encourage farmers along the IB to continue agricultural activities. We ensure their protection and undertake civic action programmes as part of confidence-building measures.'
'BSF is India's first line of defence. We do not provoke but will retaliate strongly against any misadventure. Our guard remains up, and our vigilance unwavering,' Anand said.
Operation Sindoor was India's decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Launched on May 7, Operation Sindoor led to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
After the attack, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions, following which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres, and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan.
After this, on May 10, an understanding of the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan was announced.

Operation Sindoor: Rafales, Sukhois Shot Down Pakistan's JF-17s, Mirages In Dogfight; India Set To Reveal Smoking Gun Evidence
New Delhi: Clouds parted. Secrets spilled. Under the cloak of night, the Indian Air Force launched a mission that would rattle Islamabad to its core. It was Operation Sindoor, a storm that tore through terror camps and left Pakistani war machines in flames. On the intervening night of May 6 and 7, the air throbbed with tension. Rafale and Sukhoi jets soared out of Indian bases. Precision. Power. Payloads locked. Targets across the border marked in red – terror launchpads nestled in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Airstrikes hit like thunderclaps. Explosions followed. Camp after camp, bunker after bunker flattened. Over 100 terrorists eliminated in minutes. The April 22 Pahalgam's bloodshed avenged. But the night did not end there. Pakistan scrambled its jets. JF-17s. Mirages. J-10Cs. Interceptors on a collision course. The dogfight was brutal. Aerial combat at lightning speed. Engines screamed. Missiles launched. Skies lit up. And then silence. Flames fell from the heavens. Pakistan's jets crashed and burned. Sources inside India's top defence establishment confirm that enemy aircraft shot down mid-air. India watched. Recorded. Tracked every move with AWACS and ground-based radar. The wreckage? Scattered across the rugged terrain of PoK. And India has the evidence. High-resolution satellite images. Infrared signatures. Radio logs. Visual confirmation from cockpit feeds. Soon, the truth will go public. Pakistan panicked. Cross-border firing intensified. Ceasefire torn to shreds. India retaliated with full force. Missiles rained down on major Pakistani airbases. Noor Khan. Rafiqui. Sukkur. Chunian. Rahim Yar Khan – once considered strategic strongholds. Now smoking craters. One hit after another. Pakistan's Chinese-made HQ-9 air defense systems shredded. Its backbone was broken. Operation Sindoor was a verdict – justice delivered at supersonic speed.

Pak nat'l held with fake docus
Lucknow: In a joint operation by the local intelligence unit (LIU) and Kushinagar police, a Pakistani national who had been living illegally in India for several decades on forged documents was arrested along with his two accomplices. According to reports, Serajul Haq entered India in 1957 from then-East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) with his mother on a long-term visa (LTV) and later settled in Gaglwa Chainpatti village in Pattherwa police station limits. He married an Indian woman and had three children. "Using fake Indian IDs, Haq managed to renew his LTV visa annually until 2023. After his last visa expired, he failed to respond to LIU notices for re-verification. Officials confirmed he assumed a false Indian identity," said SP Santosh Mishra of Kushinagar. Two others — Chand Akhtar, who aided him locally, and Shabbir Azam, a CHC operator — were also arrested. The trio has been booked under various sections of the Citizenship Act, BNS, and Foreigners Act, 1946.
