On May 7, 2025, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor, a series of precision strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This action was a direct response to the brutal Pahalgam attack, where 26 civilians, including one Nepali national, were killed by militants linked to Pakistan-based groups.
At a press conference following the strikes, Indian officials-including Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and senior military officers-presented concrete evidence showing Pakistan’s continued support for terrorist organizations like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. The evidence included:
Satellite imagery and video footage of targeted terror camps in Bahawalpur, Muridke, and other locations.
Intelligence intercepts and documents linking the Pahalgam attackers to handlers operating from Pakistani soil.
Details of the nine targeted sites, all identified as active hubs for cross-border terrorism.
Officials emphasized that despite repeated international warnings, Pakistan had taken “no demonstrable step” to dismantle terror infrastructure on its territory, forcing India to act in self-defense.
India’s leadership made it clear that the operation was “focused, measured, and non-escalatory,” targeting only terrorist infrastructure and avoiding civilian or military sites. The Indian Army stated, “Justice is served,” reaffirming the nation’s commitment to holding perpetrators of terror attacks accountable.
Pakistan condemned the strikes as an “act of war,” claimed civilian casualties, and vowed retaliatio. However, India countered these claims by releasing video evidence and satellite images to prove that only terror camps were targeted, not civilian areas or military installations.
The press conference and evidence presentation aimed to rally international support and highlight Pakistan’s role as a global terror hub. India urged the world community to recognize the threat posed by unchecked terror infrastructure in Pakistan and called for coordinated international action.
