India on early Wednesday carried out ‘Operation Sindoor’ hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army said that India targeted the terror infrastructure from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed. Altogether, nine sites have been targeted.

“Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution,” the Indian Army said. “These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered. We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable,” it said.

The headquarters of banned terror groups Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were reportedly targetted in a series of precision strikes, PTI reported citing officials. Bahawalpur emerged as the stronghold of JeM terror group following the release of Masood Azhar in 1999, secured in exchange for the hostages of hijacked flight IC-814. Since then, the group has been linked to a series of major attacks in India, including the 2000 strike on the J&K assembly, the 2001 Parliament attack, the 2016 assault on the Pathankot Air Force base, and the 2019 Pulwama suicide bombing.

Operation Sindoor LIVE Updates: Indian Armed Forces on Tuesday night launched ‘Operation Sindoor’, striking nine sites and terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
