India said that it had conducted strikes on Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir under Operation Sindoor, two weeks after 26 people including a Nepali, most of them tourists, were killed in a terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Issuing a statement on Wednesday, the Defence Ministry of India said that nine sites linked to the April 22 Pahalgam attack were targeted.
India described the operation as “focused, measured, and non-escalatory,” emphasizing that no Pakistani military facilities were hit.
The Indian Army declared on X, “Justice is served.”
Pakistan’s military claimed that India fired missiles from its own territory, killing three civilians and injuring 12, according to Dawn. Indian air defence units along the border have been put on high alert, The Hindu reported.
