The ministry of defence said that as many as 9 sites were attacked by India and no Pakistani military facilities were targeted.

The Indian armed forces on Wednesday launched “Operation Sindoor”, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan as well as Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in response to the deadly Pahalgam attack which claimed 26 lives on April 22.

In a statement following the precision strikes, the ministry of defence said that as many as 9 sites were attacked by India and no Pakistani military facilities were targeted.

“Altogether, nine (9) sites have been 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. 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. There will be detailed briefing on ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, later today,” the ministry of defence said.
