Targets:
The Indian Armed Forces on Wednesday launched ‘Operation Sindoor’, targeting nine terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The strikes come just days after a brutal terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 tourists, prompting a strong response from New Delhi.
According to a statement by the Press Information Bureau (PIB), the operation was aimed at neutralizing terror camps actively involved in planning and executing attacks against India.
Officials emphasized that the strikes were focused, measured, and non-escalatory, deliberately avoiding any Pakistani military installations.
“India has shown significant restraint both in the selection of targets and the method of execution,” the statement added.
The Pahalgam attack, which drew widespread outrage, led to a growing demand for immediate government intervention.
“India stands by its commitment that those responsible for this heinous act will be held accountable,” a government spokesperson said.
Further details of ‘Operation Sindoor’ are expected to be shared during a detailed briefing later on Wednesday.
