About a fortnight after the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people – mostly tourists – in Jammu and Kashmir, India carried out military strikes across nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
In a press briefing on Wednesday morning, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Colonel Sofiya Qureshi gave detailed information about India’s ‘Operation Sindoor,’ in which terror camps were hit by the Indian forces.
Wing Commander Singh said, "Operation Sindoor was launched by the Indian Armed Forces to deliver justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and their families. Nine terrorist camps were targeted and successfully destroyed... The locations were so selected to avoid damage to civilian infrastructures and loss of any civilian lives."
