India launches strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan

India has confirmed it conducted an operation targeting “terrorist infrastructure” in Pakistan, resulting in casualties including one child’s death and injuries to two others. Pakistan condemned the attack as an act of war.

The military action, named “Operation Sindoor,” aimed to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. These locations have been strategic bases for planning and executing terrorist activities against India, as stated by the Press Information Bureau of India.

India emphasized that its military operations were deliberate, controlled, and meant to avoid escalation. The Defense Ministry clarified that the targets were solely focused on terrorist sites and not Pakistani military installations.

“I just hope it ends very quickly,” he said. 

The military action comes amid tense relations between the nuclear-armed states following an April 22 attack that killed 26 people in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir, a long-disputed territory that has been the source of tension between the two nations and is one of the most militarized regions in the world. 

Kashmir has been a disputed region since both India and Pakistan gained their autonomy from Britain in 1947. 

India has blamed Pakistan for backing the militant attack, which Islamabad has denied.

“In the wake of Pahalgam attack, the Indian leadership has once again used the bogey of terrorism to advance its sham narrative of victimhood, jeopardizing regional peace and security,” Pakistan said. “India’s reckless action has brought the two nuclear-armed states closer to a major conflict.”

Pakistani army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Ahmad Sharif, told ARY News that the missiles were launched Wednesday from within Indian territory and that no Indian aircraft had entered Pakistani airspace.

“This was a cowardly attack targeting innocent civilians under the cover of darkness,” Sharif told the broadcaster.
