Operation Sindoor, which utilised special precision munitions, led to the destruction of nine terror targets in a coordinated strike. Sources revealed that the Indian forces targeted and obliterated four sites in Pakistan, including key locations in Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Sialkot, while five other targets in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) were also successfully hit.

The Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force jointly carried out the operation, mobilising assets and troops. The strikes on all nine targets were successful, sources further revealed. The Indian forces selected the locations to target top Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders involved in sponsoring terrorist activities in India. Operation Sindoor: New Zealand Cricket Issues Statement for Its Players in IPL and PSL After Indian Armed Forces Strike Terror Targets in Pakistan.
