India targets the JeM and LeT headquarters in Punjab, Pakistan, as part of Operation Sindoor.
According to sources, Indian forces launched a missile assault against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir early on Wednesday, targeting the headquarters of the outlawed Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba organisations. The JeM headquarters in Bahawalpur and the LeT’s in Muridke, both in Pakistan’s Punjab, are two of the nine locations targeted, they added.
In an interview with the BBC, a Pakistani military spokesperson stated that Bahawalpur and Muridke had been targeted by the IAF.
India targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir today, striking nine locations. Two weeks had passed since the terror assault in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives. “A little while ago, the Indian armed forces launched ‘Operation Sindoor,’ hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from which terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed,” the defence ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
India has made it clear that no Pakistani military installations have been targeted and that its actions have been targeted, measured, and non-escalatory. Two weeks after the Pahalgam terror assault on April 22 that claimed 26 lives, India took action.
Multiple explosions
According to the Reuters news agency, which was reporting from Muzaffarabad in PoK, there were several explosions. According to the report, a Pakistani military spokesperson told ARY that India had launched three missile attacks on Pakistan and that Pakistan will retaliate.
Residents of Muzaffarabad also claimed to have heard planes flying overhead, according to the New York Times. They claimed that the strikes seemed to have targeted a Lashkar-e-Taiba location in a rural area close to Muzaffarabad.
Earlier Tuesday
The administration was reportedly developing a multifaceted military plan to re-establish deterrence against Pakistan’s hostile actions as it considered how to respond to the Pahalgam terror incident.
