New Delhi: In a strong response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives, including one Nepali national, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor early Wednesday morning. The Ministry of Defence confirmed that focused strikes were carried out on nine terrorist infrastructure sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), specifically targeting camps operated by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM).

According to the official statement, the operation was "measured and non-escalatory," with no Pakistani military facilities targeted, underscoring India's intent to avoid provoking a broader conflict while holding the perpetrators accountable.
