**NEW DELHI, INDIA** – In a major escalation of tensions, the Indian armed forces launched pre-dawn missile strikes Wednesday against nine terrorist targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The strikes, codenamed Operation Sindoor, reportedly targeted infrastructure linked to the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorist group, with Bahawalpur, a known JeM stronghold, among the areas hit. Further details regarding the nature and extent of the strikes are awaited from official sources. The operation follows the recent Pulwama attack, claimed by JeM, which killed dozens of Indian paramilitary personnel.
