Following the deadly Pahalgam attack, the Indian Army and IAF launched ‘Operation Sindoor,’ destroying nine terror hideouts linked to JeM, LeT, and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and PoK. The strikes targeted key training and operational centers, including Markaz Subhan Allah and Markaz Taiba, used for indoctrination, training, and planning attacks like the Pulwama bombing.

Indian armed forces executed Operation Sindoor, targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. This action avenged the Pahalgam terror attack. Strikes hit JeM and LeT headquarters, plus Hizbul Mujahideen sites. India used precision munitions and loitering drones. The operation aimed to dismantle terror infrastructure. It signifies a major escalation beyond previous cross-border actions.
