In a strong retaliation to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, the Indian government launched a massive military strike just after midnight on May 7, targeting nine terror sites deep inside Pakistan. The operation, named Operation Sindoor, was carried out jointly by the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy using precision-guided weapons. According to Reuters, the strike destroyed key terror hubs linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), including five camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Among those killed were 10 relatives of JeM chief Masood Azhar. One of the main targets was the Syedna Bilal camp in Muzaffarabad, a major JeM base used for weapons, explosives, and jungle warfare training. This location was described as a staging area for launching attacks into India. This marks India’s deepest strike inside Pakistani territory since the 1971 war, making it the most significant military operation in the last five decades. Officials said the mission successfully dismantled terror infrastructure spread across both Pakistan and PoK. The strike comes just days after the brutal Pahalgam terror attack, and signals a strong message from India against cross-border terrorism.
