Operation Sindoor: The Indian Army has shared a booklet on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), offering details about Operation Sindoor. The content highlights the presence of the Army, Navy, and Air Force chiefs inside a high-security ‘Operations Room’, overseeing the precision strikes carried out on May 7, against terrorist camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).

Two newly released images feature Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Navy Chief Admiral DK Tripathi, Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, along with a senior Army officer inside the war room.

One of the images, captured at 1:05 am on May 7, shows General Dwivedi and the senior officer closely monitoring a screen as Operation Sindoor unfolds. They appear to be examining live drone footage, satellite visuals, and receiving real-time updates on the mission, during which Indian Air Force jets, equipped with precision-guided bombs, SCALP cruise missiles, and drones, hit nine terrorist hideouts, eliminating more than 140 militants.

The operation was launched in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 civilians were brutally killed in the Baisaran valley. Named ‘Operation Sindoor’, the mission honours the sacrifice of the women who lost their husbands in that terror strike.

The Indian strikes successfully crippled critical infrastructure used for logistics, training, and operations by terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Hizbul Mujahideen, and associated networks. The targeted locations included Bahawalpur, Muridke, Sialkot, Chak Amru, and Kotli, Bhimber, Gulpur, along with two camps in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Among these, Muridke is widely known as the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba, led by Hafiz Saeed, while Bahawalpur, located in Pakistan’s Punjab province, serves as the base for Jaish-e-Mohammed, operated by Masood Azhar.

Following India’s precision strikes, Pakistan retaliated with artillery shelling on Poonch, Rajouri, and other parts of Jammu and Kashmir. Over the next three days, Indian military bases and civilian areas came under a wave of drone and missile attacks.
