India, in the early hours of Wednesday carried out strikes under 'Operation Sindoor' at nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The prime targets of the strikes were terror breeding grounds run by Hafiz Saeed-led Lashkhar-e-Taiba and the base camp of Masood Azhar's Jaish-e-Mohammed.

According to reports, India's missile strike destroyed 9 Terror Camps — 4 of Jaish-e-Mohammed, 3 of LeT, 2 of Hizbul Mujahideen.
India stated that the actions were "focused, measured and non-escalatory" and that "no Pakistani military facilities or civilians were targeted" under Operation Sindoor. “India has demonstrated considerable restraint in the selection of targets and method of execution," the statement read.
