India Launches Operation Sindoor: Precision Strikes on Pak-Based Terror Infrastructure
India executed Operation Sindoor, a precision military strike deploying SCALP missiles, HAMMER bombs, and drones to destroy nine terror camps in Pakistan and POK. The operation, a direct response to the LeT-linked Pahalgam attack, specifically targeted terrorist infrastructure while avoiding military sites.
In a decisive response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir—which killed 26 civilians, including an Indian Navy officer and a Nepali national—India launched Operation Sindoor, a large-scale military operation targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK).
Conducted in the early hours of Wednesday, the tri-service mission (involving air, naval, and land-based assets) marked India’s most expansive precision strike since the 2019 Balakot operation. Intelligence confirmed the attackers were linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), groups accused of receiving state support from Pakistan.

The operation utilized advanced, long-range weaponry to strike nine terror hubs across four locations in Pakistan and five in POK. Key systems included:
- SCALP (Storm Shadow) Cruise Missiles: Air-launched with a 250+ km range, these missiles were deployed for deep-strike missions against high-value targets.
- HAMMER Precision Bombs: Designed to penetrate reinforced structures, these modular bombs (50–70 km range) targeted bunkers and training centers.
- Loitering Munitions: Also called "kamikaze drones," these provided real-time surveillance and precision strikes on mobile threats.

Struck sites included LeT’s Muridke headquarters (a fortified 200-acre complex for indoctrination and planning), JeM’s Bahawalpur base (its operational nerve center), and Muzaffarabad infiltration hubs used to train sleeper cells.
The Indian Ministry of Defence clarified that only terror facilities—not Pakistani military installations—were targeted, emphasizing the operation’s focus on dismantling cross-border terrorism.
