New Delhi [India], May 7 (ANI): Union Defence Minister

spoke to chiefs of the
Indian Army

, according to the sources.

The conversation happened in the aftermath of the

Earlier, India carried out its deepest strikes inside Pakistan’s undisputed territory since 1971, according to CNN, successfully targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This marks New Delhi’s most significant military action within Pakistani territory in over five decades.

The strikes were carried out to avenge the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and to eliminate Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks in India.

The Ministry of Defence, in its statement, said, “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.”

“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 added.

The Indian Armed Forces conducted a successful coordinated attack on nine terrorist locations, with four within Pakistan—specifically targeting Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Sialkot—and five inside Pakistan-controlled Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). They utilized advanced precise ammunition for these operations, according to sources cited by ANI. This mission was executed collaboratively by the different branches of the
Indian Army
, Navy, and Air Force, with the mobilisation of assets and troops.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was constantly monitoring
Operation Sindoor
throughout the night, sources confirmed to ANI. 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. (ANI)
