The incident follows a targeted strike by the Indian military that successfully dismantled nine terrorist bases related to Jaish e Mohammed, Rashkar Etaiba and Hizbul Mujahideen as part of the “Operation Sindoah” across Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The Indian Air Force has carried out accurate strikes at four locations within Pakistan, but five sites have been added targeting Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Ministry of Defense characterized the operation as “focused, measured, and non-escalator,” explicitly avoiding Pakistan’s military targets.
Operation Sindore was a joint mission involving the Army, Navy and Air Force. The Ministry of Defense has revealed that the operation was directed solely to eliminate terrorist infrastructure and did not pose a risk to Pakistan’s military facilities. Furthermore, the military action was a direct response to the terrorist attacks that took place in Pahargam, Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, resulting in 26 deaths. The Indian government has insisted its right to stand up against cross-border terrorism and address imminent threats. With a briefing on the press, Foreign Secretary Vikram Mithri highlighted the relationship between Pakistan and terrorist organizations and cited the Pahargam attack as a notable example. “As you know, on April 22, Pakistan-trained terrorists in partnership with Lashkar Etaiba conducted a horrific attack on Pahargam tourists, resulting in the deaths of 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen,” Mithri said.
“This incident marks the most serious outbreak since the 2008 attack on Mumbai, especially as civilians have been directly targeted,” he added.
