In a strong and swift response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, India has launched a major counter-offensive targeting terrorist infrastructure across the border. The Indian Army has reportedly carried out precision air strikes on nine terrorist hideouts located in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The retaliatory action began around 2 PM, under a coordinated military initiative named ‘Operation Sindoor’. According to defense sources, the operation specifically aimed at neutralizing locations used by terror groups operating with support from across the border. These targets included hideouts believed to be safe havens for militants planning and launching cross-border attacks on Indian soil.
The air strikes were executed with high-level planning and intelligence inputs to ensure minimal collateral damage while maximizing the impact on terror networks. Strategic locations deep inside PoK and some across Pakistan’s border regions were struck, signaling a strong message that attacks on Indian citizens and soldiers will not go unanswered.
Though official confirmation from the government is awaited, sources within the defense establishment suggest that the strikes have caused significant damage to the targeted hideouts. The action comes amid heightened tensions in the region following the Pahalgam attack, which claimed several lives and sparked national outrage.
‘Operation Sindoor’ marks another chapter in India’s evolving counter-terrorism strategy, emphasizing both resolve and capability in responding to provocations. As the situation continues to develop, all eyes remain on further updates from the Indian defense and government officials.
