**SRINAGAR, INDIA (May 7, 2025)** – In retaliation for the deadly Pulwama-like attack in Pahalgam on May 6th, 2025, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians (25 Indian and 1 Nepalese), the Indian Air Force (IAF) launched precision airstrikes against nine terrorist camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation, codenamed “Operation Sindoor,” targeted training facilities and launchpads believed to be responsible for planning and executing attacks against India.
The IAF emphasized that the strikes specifically targeted terrorist infrastructure and avoided any civilian or Pakistani military installations. A statement released by the Indian military highlighted the precision and restraint exercised in selecting and executing the targets. The operation serves as a strong message to those involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks against India. The Indian government reaffirmed its commitment to hold those responsible for the Pahalgam attack accountable.
