Operation Sindoor: India destroys 9 terror bases in Pakistan and PoK, Check how far is Bahawalpur, Muridke, Gulpur, Bhimber, Bagh, Kotli from LoC India's actions came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack triggered widespread outrage in India and abroad. "These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered," the Army said in the statement. By Victor Dasgupta Edited by Victor Dasgupta Advertisement Operation Sindoor Details New Delhi: India on Wednesday launched a deadly attack and carried out missile attacks on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including Bahawalpur which is a major base of Jaish-e-Mohammad terror outfit. The military strikes were carried out under 'Operation Sindoor', the Indian Army said in a statement released at 1.44 am. 'A little while ago, the Indian Armed forces launched 'Operation Sindoor' hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed,' the Army said. Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued its strongest statement yet, publicly confirming Indian air strikes on four locations — Muridke, Bahawalpur, Kotli, and Muzaffarabad — and labelling the action an 'unprovoked and blatant act of war.' The official release marks the first formal acknowledgment from Islamabad that India's Operation Sindoor indeed hit terror-linked targets across both Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

'No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution,' the Indian Army said. India's actions came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack triggered widespread outrage in India and abroad. 'These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered,' the Army said in the statement. 'We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable,' it said. The top military brass of India was closely monitoring the operation, people familiar with the matter said. In a high-level meeting with the top defence brass, Prime Minister Modi on April 29 gave the armed forces 'complete operational freedom' to decide on the mode, targets and timing of the response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Modi also emphasised the national resolve to deal a 'crushing blow to terrorism'.
