What Happened During India's Bold Operation Sindoor Against Terror Camps?

Indian Army Launches Operation Sindoor

New Delhi: The Indian Army has successfully executed pre-dawn strikes targeting nine terrorist camps across the border, releasing a series of videos that capture the precise moments of these military operations in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan.

These videos provide a detailed look at how the Indian Army and Air Force unleashed a barrage of bombs for 25 minutes on key terrorist bases, particularly those associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Earlier in the day, two female commanders from the Armed Forces addressed the nation regarding 'Operation Sindoor', revealing that nine launch pads—five in PoK and four in Pakistan—were struck with 21 precision attacks.

The operation commenced at 1:04 a.m. on Wednesday and concluded around 1:30 a.m.

The Indian Army was the first to announce Operation Sindoor, stating on X, 'Justice is served. Jai Hind.'

The Army also shared footage of the precision strikes, showcasing the destruction of the terrorist hubs.

On X, the Army highlighted the first target—Kotli—stating, 'Target 1 – Abbas Terrorist Camp at Kotli. Distance – 13 Km from the Line of Control (POJK). This camp serves as a training center for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) suicide bombers, with infrastructure for over 50 terrorists.'

'Target 2 – Gulpur Terrorist Camp at Kotli. Distance – 30 Km from Line of Control (POJK). This facility is a control center for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and was used to revive terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. Destroyed at 1:08 AM,' the Army noted in another post while sharing the video.

Earlier, a video surfaced on social media showing the devastated Subhan Allah terror camp in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, which belonged to Jaish-e-Mohammed. The footage revealed the camp reduced to rubble following India's precision strikes. Bahawalpur has been known as a recruitment and indoctrination center for terrorists.

The video evidence shared by the Army is particularly significant, especially since the previous Balakot strikes faced skepticism from Pakistan and some political factions in India.

This time, the visual proof aims to address the doubts and criticisms surrounding the operation.
