India-Pakistan Airstrike Under Operation Sindoor: The Indian Armed Forces launched a late-night airstrike targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under the 'Operation Sindoor'. The coordinated attack struck nine terror hideouts linked to banned organisations like Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
The strategic operation involved striking four locations within Pakistan's territory, whilst five targets were situated in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. The operation was based on the strong intelligence inputs and came just two weeks after the deadly terror attack in Jammu Pahalgam, that claimed 26 lives.
This camp was used for practical training in jungle warfare, handling explosives, and using firearms. Both LeT and JeM cadres were regularly prepared here for missions in Indian-administered Kashmir.
A known Lashkar base that supported militants operating in Jammu’s Rajouri and Poonch regions. Terrorists behind the 2023 and 2024 Poonch attacks were trained here before infiltrating Indian territory.
This Lashkar camp trained small groups of suicide attackers, known as fidayeen. With a capacity for 15 recruits, it focused on high-risk missions involving close combat and direct strikes on Indian targets.
This camp was the base from which the Pathankot air base attack was planned and executed. It provided logistical and operational support to attackers during the mission.
Jaish-e-Mohammed’s headquarters. It handled recruitment, indoctrination, and training in guerrilla tactics, IEDs, and armed assault. Operatives trained here have carried out major attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
The main base of Lashkar-e-Taiba. It trained operatives involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, including Ajmal Kasab and David Headley, in firearms, sea routes, and urban combat techniques.
Terrorists who killed four Jammu and Kashmir police personnel in March 2025 were trained here. The camp focuses on physical training, arms handling, and preparing attackers for cross-border missions. (Image Credit: ANI)
