Jammu/Srinagar: After successful targeting of nine terrorists’ sites in Pakistan by the Indian armed forces on Wednesday, the Pakistan Army resorted to heavy mortar shelling on the Line of Control (LoC) for the 13th consecutive day. Indian Air Force targeted the terrorists’ sites without crossing the Pakistan airspace on Wednesday. The Pakistan armed forces were taken by complete surprise when the Indian strikes started around 1.44 a.m.
In order not to escalate tensions further, a defence ministry statement said that no army installation of Pakistan was targeted during Wednesday’s strikes. “During the night of 06-07 May 2025, Pakistan Army resorted to arbitrary firing, including Artillery shelling from posts across the Line of Control and IB opposite J&K. Three innocent civilians lost their lives in indiscriminate firing/shelling. Indian Army are responding in proportionate manner”, the defence statement said.
Three civilians were killed by Pakistan’s shelling in the Mankot area of Poonch district. Some civilian injuries have also been reported in the Pakistan shelling. The injured have been shifted to the hospital for treatment.
A defence ministry statement confirmed ‘Operation Sindoor’, saying, “Altogether, nine (9) sites have been targeted. Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. “No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in the selection of targets and the method of execution. These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered. We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable. There will be a detailed briefing on ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, later today,” said the statement.
The terrorists’ sites targeted by Indian strikes include Muridke near Lahore, Bahawalpur, Kotli and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). ‘Justice is Served. Jai Hind”, the Indian Army declared in a post on X at midnight tonight after targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK by conducting multiple strikes under ‘Operation Sindoor’.
The terrorist infrastructure was targeted from where the attacks against India have been planned and directed. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) posted a press release at 1.44 a.m. saying nine sites have been targeted altogether during ‘Operation Sindoor’ by the Indian Armed Forces.
