The Indian Army on Wednesday shared visuals of the strikes it carried out in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor. The visuals were shared during a media briefing on the operation in Delhi today.
Col. Sofiya Qureshi, who addressed the media alongside Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, presented videos showing destroyed terror camps, including Mehmoona Joya camp, Sialkot, which lies 12-18 km inside Pakistan.
It is said to be one of the biggest camps of Hizbul Mujahideen, and one of the control centres for spreading terrorism in the Kathua, Jammu region. The camp planned and directed the attack on the Pathankot air force base camp, she said.
She then showed visuals of Sarjal camp, Sialkot, which lies 6 km inside Pakistan, informing that it was the same camp where those terrorists involved in the killing of 4 Jammu & Kashmir police personnel received their training.
Sharing visuals of terror site Markaz Subhan Allah, Bahawalpur, the officer said that the site served as the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed, and was targeted by Indian Armed Forces under Operatin Sindoor.
The Indian Army even shared visuals showing destroyed terror camp Markaz Taiba Muridke, where Ajmal Kasab and David Headley, the terrorists involved in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, received their training. "No military installation was targeted, and till now there are no reports of civilian casualties in Pakistan," she said.
During the press briefing, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh said that Operation Sindoor was launched to deliver justice to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and their families.
"Nine terrorist camps were targeted and successfully destroyed...The locations were so selected to avoid damage to civilian infrastructures and loss of any civilian lives," she said.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said during the briefing that the TRF, which is a front for the UN-proscribed terrorist group Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the attack. He shared how India had earlier shared inputs regarding the TRF with the UN, bringing out its role as a cover for terrorists based in Pakistan.
