Operation Sindoor: 9 Terror Targets Said To Be Hit. JeM, LeT, Hizbul Mujahideen On The List
A press briefing scheduled for 10 am is expected to shed light on the objectives, outcomes, and further steps following Operation Sindoor.
Operation Sindoor: India has launched a precision air operation named Operation Sindoor, targeting key terror infrastructure across the Line of Control. According to PTI, intelligence-driven airstrikes conducted by the Indian Air Force have hit nine terror facilities in total — four belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammed, three of Lashkar-e-Taiba, and two associated with Hizbul Mujahideen.
The strikes mark a significant escalation and serve as a forceful message across the border, following one of the deadliest recent attacks on Indian soil.
Jaish, Lashkar, Hizbul Strongholds Targeted
The standout detail from the operation is the specific targeting of terror group infrastructure. “Four targets of Jaish-e-Mohammed, 3 of Lashkar-e-Taiba, 2 of Hizbul Mujahideen terror groups hit in intelligence-based IAF strikes,” sources told PTI.

While the Government has not officially commented on the specifics, these figures suggest a calculated strike on high-value terror assets. The targeting breakdown indicates an emphasis on dismantling command-and-control centres and logistical support nodes of groups long held responsible for attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
Civilian Air Travel Takes a Hit
The fallout from the operation isn’t limited to the military realm. With northern India’s airspace seeing fresh restrictions, multiple airlines have reported disruptions. IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air have issued advisories warning travellers of possible delays and cancellations due to airspace management linked to the ongoing security situation.
Authorities have urged passengers to check flight statuses frequently, as the full scope of the airspace closures remains fluid.
Official Word Awaited, Stakes High
While the strikes were executed overnight, the Government has opted for strategic silence on operational details so far. A press briefing scheduled for 10 am is expected to shed light on the objectives, outcomes, and further steps following Operation Sindoor.
The timing of the strikes — coming swiftly after the Pahalgam attack — has added to the intensity of public and diplomatic scrutiny. The lack of immediate commentary is being read as a tactical move to maintain security and possibly leave room for backchannel diplomacy.
As the nation awaits official word, today’s developments signal not only a kinetic military move but a shift in India’s evolving security playbook.
