The strikes resulted in the elimination of several high-profile terrorists affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), including Maulana Yusuf Azhar, who was wanted for the IC-814 hijacking, news agency ANI reported citing sources.

India’s response to the Pahalgam attack was swift, strategic and unyielding. Operation Sindoor combined surgical military strikes with bold diplomatic and economic measures, sending an unmistakable message: terrorism will not be tolerated.

India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in direct retaliation to the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which killed 26 civilians. In a coordinated effort, the Indian Air Force and Army carried out precision airstrikes on nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
