India launched Operation Sindoor to avenge the killings of 26 innocent civilians by Pakistani terrorists in the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. The Indian armed forces, in its response to bring perpetrators of terror backed by Pakistan to justice, carried out precision strikes on multiple terror camps inside its territory and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), killing over 100 terrorists and reducing terror infrastructure to rubble.
When Pakistan, instead of supporting India's action against terror, launched swarm drones and missile attack, aiming to target India military and civilian establishments and tried to escalate the tension with India, the Indian armed forces gave it back to Pakistan by launching another round of precision strikes, destroying its air bases.
The airstrikes were executed through the coordinated efforts of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, conducted from Indian territory.
Unlike past operations with aggressive names meant to project strength, this operation's name was chosen as a personal tribute to the victims, particularly the widows of the Pahalgam attack.
India also struck multiple terror hubs in Pakistan including the ones situated in Bahawalpur, Muridke, Muzaffarabad (PoK), and others.
The Indian Army had released multiple videos showcasing how stellar Indian armed forces launched precision strikes, dismantling terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), during India's anti-terror operation on May 7 under Operation Sindoor.
One of the targets of the Indian armed forces under Operation Sindoor was the Abbas Terrorist Camp at Kotli. It was situated 13 kms from Line of Control in Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK). It was a nerve centre for training suicide bombers of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and a key training infrastructure for over 50 terrorists. The terror camp was destroyed at 1.04 AM on 07 May 2025.
Gulpur Terrorist Camp at Kotli was situated at a distance of 30 Km from Line of Control in POJK. It's the control centre and base for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) used for revival of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The terror hideout was destroyed at 1.08 AM on 07 May 2025.
Mehmoona Joya Terrorist Camp at Sialkot, situated at a distance of 12 Km from International boundary. It was a key training centre of Hizbul Mujahideen and used as control centre for revival of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The terror camp was struck at 1.11 AM on 07 May 2025.
As a response to Pakistan's misadventures of attempted drone strikes on the night of May 8 and 9, 2025 in multiple cities of Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab, the Indian Army conducted a coordinated fire assault on terrorist launchpads, pulverizing and razing them to cinders.
The terrorist launchpads, located close to the Line of Control, were a hub for planning and executing terror attacks against Indian civilians and security forces in the past.
