India says it has launched “Operation Sindoor,” targeting nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir linked to terrorist activity. The strikes follow a deadly militant attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir last month, which severely worsened India-Pakistan relations, the BBC reported.
In an official statement, the Indian government said the operation focused on “terrorist infrastructure” used to plan and direct attacks against India. Officials said the strikes were “focused, measured, and non-escalatory,” avoiding Pakistani military installations.
Pakistan’s military, meanwhile, confirmed three locations were hit and is assessing the situation. The region remains tense amid the long-running dispute over Kashmir, which both nations claim in full.
