India Strikes Pakistan Terror Hubs

In a bold and unprecedented move, India launched coordinated precision strikes on nine terror camps deep inside Pakistan-occupied territories early Tuesday morning, military sources confirmed. The operation was conducted in retaliation for a series of cross-border terror attacks that claimed the lives of 42 Indian soldiers over the past two weeks.

The Indian Air Force, along with elite Special Forces units, carried out the strikes between 2:30 AM and 4:00 AM IST, targeting terror training centers allegedly run by groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. According to sources in the Indian defense establishment, the strikes were based on actionable intelligence and confirmed surveillance data.

As part of Operation Sindoor, the Indian Armed Forces launched joint airstrikes inside Pakistani territory, targeting nine terror camps using Rafale jets armed with SCALP cruise missiles and HAMMER precision-guided munitions, as per sources.

The strikes were carried out from within Indian airspace, with support from Indian Navy assets, making it a coordinated sea-borne and air operation.

Sources added that special ammunition was used to target terror camps on Pakistani soil, with no Indian aircraft lost. The operation involved the Army, Navy, and Air Force engaging multiple targets.

Under Operation Sindoor, India targeted nine locations in Bahawalpur, Muridke, Gulpur, Bhimber, Chak Amru, Bagh, Kotli, Sialkot and Muzaffarabad.

 “The operations were carried out with surgical precision to avoid civilian casualties while dismantling terror infrastructure,” said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in a press briefing. “India has sent a clear message — terror will not be tolerated, and perpetrators will be held accountable, no matter where they hide.”

Pakistan’s response was swift but measured. While the country condemned the strikes and labeled them a violation of sovereignty, it also called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council. Pakistani authorities claimed the Indian strikes caused minimal damage and denied the existence of terror camps in the targeted regions.

On the international front, global reactions were mixed. The United States and France urged restraint but recognized India’s right to self-defense, while China called for immediate de-escalation and dialogue.

Security analysts called this one of India’s most daring counter-terror operations since the Balakot airstrikes of 2019. With tensions now at a boiling point, diplomatic channels are being activated to prevent further escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

As the nation awaits further developments, the Indian public has largely hailed the operation as a long-overdue assertion of national security and justice.
