The Indian armed forces’ objective was to combat terrorists, but the Pakistan military “opted to support” them, escalating the conflict.
During Operation Sindoor, nine terror sites were targeted, including Markaz Taiba of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Muridke, Markaz Subhan Allah of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) in Bahawalpur, and Hizbul Mujahideen’s Mehmoona Joya Facility in Sialkot.
India reported over 100 terrorists eliminated in the operations.
