Indian armed forces Strikes Pakistan’s Three Cities with Missiles
India says it attacked nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir
The Indian armed forces have confirmed it targeted nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir as part of “Operation Sindoor”.
A statement from the Indian armed forces reads:
A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.
Altogether, nine (9) sites have been targeted.
It said its actions have been “focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature” and that no Pakistani military facilities were targeted, adding:
India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.
The statement says the strike comes in the wake of the “barbaric” attack in which dozens of Indians were murdered in Pahalgam in Kashmir.
Pakistani military sources told CNN five locations were struck at Kotli, Ahmadpur East, Muzaffarabad, Bagh, and Muridke.
Three of those locations – Kotli, Muzaffarabad and Bagh are in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Ahmadpur East and Muridke are both in Pakistan’s Punjab province.
According to preliminary damage assessment, only civilians and innocent Pakistanis were impacted by the strikes, the sources said.
