Indian Air Force fighter jets bombarded nine (09) terrorists bases in Pakistan  and Pak Occupied Jammu & Kashmir past mid night 06-07 May 2025.

According to an official release issued by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) late in the night, OPERATION SINDOOR has been launched by the Indian Armed Forces hitting terrorists infrastructure in Pakkistan Occupied J&K from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.

India has stated that – ‘our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature.

‘No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution’.

The Indian response is reported to have taken around 1.44 am (Indian Standard Time) on 7th of May 2025.

Four locations of terrorists were reportedly hit in Pakistan’s Punjab province while five were smashed in POK.

Within an hour after IAF planes hitting terrorist infrastructure the Pakistan’s DG ISPR, their defence ministry publicity wing stated that IAF planes from air struck Bahawalpur, Koti and Muzaffarabad.

Launching of Operation Sindoor comes-in in wake of ghastly killing of 26 innocent tourists in Pahalgam on 22nd April 2025 by Pakistani terrorists.

Minutes after India announced that it conducted the strikes, the Indian Army posted on X and said, “Justice is served. Jai Hind.”

Pakistan’s DG ISPR, Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhary, said India struck sites in Kotli, Muridke, Bahawalpur, and Muzaffarabad.

Muridke is the headquarters of the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Bahalwapur in Pakistan’s Punjab province is the base of Jaish-e-Mohammad, a terror outfit run by Masood Azhar.

India did not mention the name of the sites it targeted during ‘Operation Sindoor’.

In response to the strikes, Pakistan has opened artillery fire along the Line of Control in the Bhimber Gali in Poonch-Rajauri area, the Indian Army said. The troops are “responding appropriately in a calibrated manner,” they added.

The Indian Air Force has planned a two-day military drill in Rajasthan along the international border with Pakistan. The drills or war games will begin at 9:30 pm today and end at 3 am on Friday. A NOTAM or notice to airmen has been issued, ceasing all flight operations over a large area of the Thar desert.

The IAF strike in POK comes few hours before a planned two-day long security mock drill across the country for “effective civil defence in the event of a hostile attack”.

It is planned in 244 districts, and it’s the first such drill being held since 1971, the year in which both countries went to war and Pakistan was split into two and Bangladesh was formed.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had vowed to take vengeance for the worst-ever attack in Jammu and Kashmir since Pulwama in 2019.

The Prime Minister has chaired several important meetings since the Pahalgam attack. Yesterday, hours before the strikes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh for more than half an hour amid speculation over how New Delhi would respond to the attack.

This meeting happened a day after the Prime Minister met Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh. The Prime Minister has by now met the chiefs of the Army, Navy and the Air Force.
