They said the strikes were targeted toward terrorist infrastructure and did not harm civilians or the Pakistani military.
Operation Sindoor 25 minutes and 9 targets in Pakistan, Army Press briefing latest news: On Wednesday morning, at 10:30 AM, three high-ranking officials from the Indian military spoke to the media about the recent air strikes carried out on terrorist camps in Pakistan. The press conference started with a two-minute video displaying the accuracy of the operation.
There was a historic moment when two women officers—Army Colonel Sophia Qureshi and Air Force Wing Commander Vyomika Singh—headed the briefing, and it was the first in the history of India when a military press conference saw Hindu and Muslim women officers sharing the stage.
They said the strikes were targeted toward terrorist infrastructure and did not harm civilians or the Pakistani military.
The operation Sindoor, was conducted between 1:05 AM and 1:30 AM in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation was decided upon after intelligence reports suggested that terror outfits were planning to carry out more attacks in India. Nine important places—terror launch pads and training camps—were identified and eliminated in the operations.
India's Foreign Secretary, Vikram Misri, condemned the recent Pahalgam attack vehemently as an act of cowardice. He pointed out that innocent tourists were brutally killed, which indicated a conscious effort to break peace and development in Jammu and Kashmir. Misri also disclosed that TRF (The Resistance Front), a terror group based in Pakistan and connected with Lashkar-e-Taiba, was responsible for the attack.
Over the past decade, India has witnessed a sharp rise in cross-border terrorism, with 600 soldiers martyred and 350 civilians killed in terror incidents. The operation was a response to this ongoing threat and aimed at dismantling key terror hubs.
Among the destroyed targets were:
- Sawai Nala, Muzaffarabad: A Lashkar-e-Taiba training center where terrorists involved in attacks on Sonmarg, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam were trained.
- Sialkot's Sarjal Camp: Utilized for training terrorists who had carried out fatal police killings in March 2025.
- Mahmuna Jaya Camp, Sialkot: Large Hizbul Mujahideen stronghold that coordinated attacks within Kathua and Pathankot.
- Markaz Tayiba, Muridke: Infamous terror camp where Ajmal Kasab and David Coleman Headley had been trained.
- Markaz Subhanallah, Bahawalpur: Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters where recruitment and terrorist training took place.
Indian forces assured zero civilian casualties, being extra cautious to steer clear of inhabited regions. International bodies, such as the United Nations, had already emphasized that Pakistan should be brought to account for sheltering terrorism.
India has made one thing very clear through this operation: It will not stand for terrorism and will take quick, measured action to protect its citizens and sovereignty.
