India has launched a significant counter-terrorism operation, ‘Operation Sindoor,’ targeting key terror bases in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and across Pakistan.
This operation marks a strategic effort to weaken terrorist organisations such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), which have long posed a threat to India’s national security.
A Precise Military Action
The operation began in the early hours of Wednesday with a series of precise and well-coordinated strikes on multiple terrorist hideouts.
- The first attack occurred at 1:04 AM, targeting an Abbas Terrorist Camp in Kotli, which was known to house over 50 terrorists and train suicide bombers. Within minutes, the operation escalated with further attacks on strategic targets.
- At 1:06 AM, Indian forces destroyed the LeT headquarters and training facility in Muridke.
- By 1:12 AM, they successfully neutralised the JeM headquarters in Bahawalpur, a key hub for terrorist planning.
- The strikes continued with successful hits on a logistic and training camp in Sialkot at 1:15 AM, followed by a weapons storage and training centre in Muzaffarabad at 1:17 AM.
- The operation also targeted recruitment and training centres in Bhimber at 1:19 AM and dropped bombs on a tactical launchpad in Chak Amru at 1:22 AM.
Targeted Strikes, Not Military Escalation
Indian forces meticulously planned the sequence of attacks, focusing on dismantling the terror infrastructure rather than engaging Pakistan’s military.
The aim was to incapacitate the operational capabilities of LeT and JeM, without escalating tensions between the two nations.
Indian authorities specifically designed the operation to target terror bases and clarified that it did not aim at the Pakistan Army.
Operation Success: Impact On Terrorism
The success of ‘Operation Sindoor’ has sent a clear message to terrorist organisations operating in the region.
Indian security forces carefully chose key terror hubs to ensure minimal collateral damage while achieving their strategic objectives.
Initial reports indicate that Indian forces executed the operation with precision and restraint, demonstrating the nation’s commitment to countering terrorism through effective, targeted measures.

Government’s Statement
The Indian government made it clear that ‘Operation Sindoor’ was a direct response to terrorism, underscoring that it was not a military operation against Pakistan itself, but a focused strike against terror.
The government’s aim is to dismantle the terror infrastructure that continues to threaten India’s security.
India’s approach in ‘Operation Sindoor’ reflects a broader strategy of countering terrorism through intelligence-driven operations and precise military actions.
The operation successfully disrupts the operational capabilities of terror groups like LeT and JeM and reinforces India’s firm resolve to combat cross-border terrorism effectively.
