 "‘Justice is served’: Indian Army on striking terror camps in Pakistan, PoK under Operation Sindoor")
In a major counter-terror move, the Indian Army carried out precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on early Wednesday as part of Operation Sindoor and said that ‘Justice is served.’
“Justice is Served. Jai Hind!’, the Indian Army said in a post on X.
The Defence Ministry said the targeted sites were being used to plan and coordinate attacks on India.

The strikes comes after the deadly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22, which killed 26 tourists.
In a statement released at 1:44 am, the Press Information Bureau described the operation as “focused, measured, and non-escalatory.” It added that Indian forces showed restraint by avoiding Pakistani military sites and striking only nine terror-linked locations.
In response to the deadly Pahalgam massacre in which Pakistan based terrorists killed 26 people, Indian armed forces launched missile strikes early Wednesday on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including Bahawalpur, a stronghold of the Jaish-e-Mohammad group.
The Defence Ministry said the strikes, carried out under ‘Operation Sindoor’, were “focused, measured, and non-escalatory.”
In a post on ‘X’ in Hindi shortly after the strikes, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said: “Long live Mother India! (Bharat Mata Ki Jai)”.
Pakistan Army spokesman Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that missile strikes were carried out by India at Kotli and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Bahawalpur in Punjab.
Some time ago, India launched air strikes in Bahawalpur’s Ahmed East area, Kotli and Muzaffarabad at three places from the air, he told ARY News channel.
“All of our air force jets are airborne. This cowardly and shameful attack was carried out from within India’s airspace. They were never allowed to come and intrude into the space of Pakistan,” he said.
“Let me say it unequivocally: Pakistan will respond to this at a time and place of its own choosing. This heinous provocation will not go unanswered,” he added.
India’s actions came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack triggered widespread outrage in India and abroad.
“These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered,” the Indian Defence Ministry statement said.
“We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable,” it said.
All air defence units have been put on alert along the frontier with Pakistan, people familiar with the matter said.
The top military brass of India was closely monitoring the operation, they said.
