Operation Sindoor: Full list of 9 terrorist camps hit by Indian forces in Pakistan & PoK

Operation Sindoor: In a powerful and strategic move, the Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor during the early hours of Wednesday. This carefully planned mission was aimed at striking terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation was India¡¯s direct response to the brutal Pahalgam terrorist attack, which took the lives of 25 Indian nationals and one Nepalese citizen on April 22. Indian armed forces target the terrorist sites under 'Operation Sindoor', the Defence Ministry said in a statement released at 1.44 am, reported in HT. It said the actions by the Indian armed forces have been "focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature".

Why Operation Sindoor Was Launched

According to an official statement from the central government, Operation Sindoor was carried out to target terrorist infrastructure across the border that had been used to plan and execute attacks against India. The government confirmed that nine locations in Pakistan and PoK were specifically chosen for this mission.

The statement added, ¡°The actions were focused, measured and non-escalatory. No Pakistani military facilities were harmed.¡± This clearly showed that India had no interest in escalating tensions but was determined to bring those behind the Pahalgam terror attack to justice.

The government further mentioned that India exercised restraint and precision during the strikes. ¡°We have carefully selected the targets to avoid civilian or military installations. This response is part of our promise that those involved in the Pahalgam massacre will be held accountable,¡± the statement read.

PM Modi Gives Green Light to Indian Armed Forces

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a high-level defence meeting on April 29, gave the Indian armed forces complete freedom to decide how, when, and where to strike. This gave the military the flexibility it needed to plan and execute Operation Sindoor with accuracy and confidence.

Operation Sindoor Sends a Strong Message to Pakistan

With Operation Sindoor, India has sent a loud and clear message to Pakistan that terrorist activities will not go unpunished. This mission shows India's commitment to protecting its people and taking strong action against those who threaten its national security.

India Attacks Pakistan Terror Camps with Precision and Purpose

Unlike previous strikes, this operation was conducted with greater precision, planning, and intelligence. The fact that only terrorist infrastructure was hit proves India¡¯s focus was only on neutralising the threat, not escalating tensions with Pakistan.

Operation Sindoor stands as another example of India¡¯s strong stance against terrorism. The Indian armed forces have once again shown their courage and capability in dealing with threats across the border. While the operation was carefully planned to avoid any military escalation, it delivered a strong blow to those plotting attacks against India. The world has now seen that India will not hesitate to act when the safety of its people is at risk.
