New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to postpone his upcoming visits to Norway, Croatia, and the Netherlands, according to sources. This decision follows the heightened tension between India and Pakistan following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, which resulted in 26 fatalities and numerous injuries.
In response to the Pahalgam assault, Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor early Wednesday morning, targeting nine terrorist camps—four within Pakistan and five in Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The strikes, conducted between 1:05 am and 1:30 am, were a coordinated effort by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, based on credible intelligence, aimed at punishing terrorist groups believed to be responsible for the attack.
Operation Sindoor was launched specifically to avenge the Pahalgam incident, which was attributed to Pakistan-based terrorist entities, including Lashkar-e-Taiba’s offshoot, The Resistance Front (TRF).
During a press briefing in Delhi, Indian officials shared details of the operation. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh outlined the objectives and marked the terrorist camps targeted and destroyed.
Colonel Qureshi provided details about the locations, stating that four camps inside Pakistan—Bahawalpur, Muridke, Sarjal, and Mehmoona Joya—were destroyed. She explained that the Sarjal camp in Sialkot, just 6 km inside Pakistan, housed terrorists responsible for the March 2025 killing of four Jammu and Kashmir police officers, and that Mehmoona Joya, located 12-18 km inside Pakistan, was a major Hizbul Mujahideen hub involved in terrorism in Jammu’s Kathua region and the attack planning for Pathankot Air Force base.
She also highlighted Muridke’s Markaz Taiba, known for training terrorists involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, including Ajmal Kasab and David Headley. Additionally, the Bahawalpur camp, known as Markaz Subhanallah and located 100 km inside Pakistan, was identified as the headquarters of JeM, which was also targeted.
Emphasizing the precision of the operation, Colonel Qureshi assured that no military installations were targeted and, so far, there have been no reports of civilian casualties in Pakistan.
