India has carried out precision air-to-surface missile strikes against terrorist bases in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, hitting sites in Muridke, Kotli, Muzaffarabad, and Bahawalpur. Sources report that these operations, which did not breach Pakistani airspace, formed part of “Operation Sindoor,” launched by the Indian Army to dismantle terrorist infrastructure across Pakistan and PoK.

Officials confirm that nine locations were targeted in total, all selected with “focused, measured, and non-escalatory” intent. No Pakistani military installations were involved, and authorities stress that “considerable restraint” was exercised in both target selection and execution.

Moments after the raids, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Indian Army posted, “Justice is served. Jai Hind!” alongside an image announcing “Operation Sindoor”. The post underscored the intent to hold those responsible for the recent Pahalgam attack to account.

According to a Press Information Bureau release, “Operation Sindoor” was launched to strike multiple nodes of terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK, targeting a total of nine locations. The statement emphasized that these were “focused, measured and non-escalatory” strikes, deliberately avoiding any Pakistani military installations.

This action follows the brutal Pahalgam attack on April 18, in which 26 people—25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen—were killed by Pakistan-based terrorists.. A detailed briefing on Operation Sindoor is expected later today.
