India’s foreign ministry holds press briefing in capital Delhi to share information about terror camps targeted in the airstrikes

India fired missiles across the border into Pakistan and Pakistan-administered regions early on Wednesday in response to the deadly terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam which claimed 26 lives last month.

The missiles, fired from India’s airspace near the Himalayan region of Kashmir in the early hours, hit multiple areas in Pakistan that India believes to be terror hideouts and infrastructure, Indian defence ministry officials said in a statement.

The strikes were carried out between 1.05am to 1.30am on Wednesday, they said.

India’s ministry of external affairs on Wednesday held a press briefing in capital Delhi to share information about the terror camps targeted and show aerial footage of the airstrikes.

“The selection of these targets for Operation Sindoor was based on credible intelligence inputs and the role of these facilities in perpetrating the terror activities. The locations were also selective to avoid damage to civilian infrastructures and loss of any civilian lives. This was done with due diligence, and the camps selected for targeting and their engagement will now be shown to you,” said Indian Air Force’s wing commander Vyomika Singh.

She added that India’s cross-border strike operation was “undertaken through precision capability”.

“A niche technology of weapons with careful selection of warheads was ensured so that there will be no collateral damage. The point of impact in each of the targets was a specific building or a group of buildings,” the Indian Air Force official said.

She added that all targets aimed at by India were “neutralised with clinical efficiency, and the results reiterate the professionalism of the Indian armed forces in the planning and execution of their operations”.

“India has demonstrated considerable restraint in its response. However, it must be said that the Indian Armed Forces are fully prepared to respond to Pakistani misadventures, if any, that will escalate the situation,” Commander Singh said.

The nine locations shared by India include Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Rawalakot, Chakswari, Bhimber, Neelum Valley, Jhelum, and Chakwal in Pakistan-occupied region and Bahawalpur inside Pakistan.

Both sides claimed casualties in the cross-border strikes. Pakistan’s Army chief Syed Asim Munir said the strikes killed 26 civilians and injured 46 others. Pakistan’s prime minister Shahbaz Sharif has called Indian airstrikes an act of war.

“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,” the Indian defence ministry earlier said, adding that the Indian Army targeted a total of nine sites.

The army attacked the terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered territories that were being used to plan and direct attacks against India, the defence ministry said, adding that Pakistan’s military infrastructure was not targeted.

“Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution,” the statement said.

“These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered. We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable.”

“India has credible leads, technical inputs, testimony of the survivors, and other evidence pointing towards the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in this attack,” India’s embassy in Washington said in a statement shortly after the airstrikes.

India’s foreign secretary Vikram Misri said India’s intelligence of Pakistan-based terror modules showed “further attacks against India were impending”.

“There was thus a compulsion both to deter and to preempt. Earlier this morning, as you would be aware, India exercised its right to respond and preempt as well as deter more such cross-border attacks,” he said.

The Indian airstrikes “focused on dismantling the terrorist infrastructure and disabling terrorists likely to be sent across to India”, Mr Misri said.

A military retaliation from India against Pakistan was expected for days after the terrorist attack on civilians in Kashmir’s Pahalgam killed mostly tourists visiting the popular destination in April.

Last week, India’s prime minister Narendra Modi vowed that the country is “committed” to take “firm and decisive action” against “terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam attack and their supporters”.

Shortly after the official statement from the defence ministry, Indian Army’s official handle on social media shared a post reading: “Justice is Served. Jai Hind”, along with the Pahalgam Terror Attack hashtag.

Mr Misri said India had flagged its concerns about the terrorist group The Resistance Front (TRF), which briefly claimed responsibility for the attack but withdrew the statement later.

Pakistan-based terrorist organisations Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, which have previously carried out several deadly terrorist attacks on India, were operating through the TRF group, he said during the press briefing.

“Investigations into the Pahalgam terror attack have brought out the communication notes of terrorists in and to Pakistan. The claims made by the Resistance Front and their reposting by known social media handles of the Lashkar-e-Taiba speak for themselves,” he said.

The official added that identification of the attackers based on eyewitness accounts as well as other information available to law enforcement agencies has also progressed.

The Indian foreign secretary said the “features of this attack also tie in with Pakistan’s long track record of perpetrating cross-border attacks in India, which is well documented and beyond question”.

“Pakistan also has a well-deserved reputation as a haven for terrorists from around the world, with internationally proscribed terrorists enjoying impunity there,” he said.
