The Indian Army has released a video montage, showing the targets it hit in Pakistan on the intervening night of May 8 and 9. "As a response to Pakistan's misadventures of attempted drone strikes on the night of May 8 and 9 in multiple cities of Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab, the Indian Army conducted a coordinated fire assault on terrorist launchpads, pulverising and razing them to cinders," the Army said.

The terrorist launchpads, located close to the Line of Control, were a hub for planning and executing terror attacks against Indian civilians and security forces in the past. The Indian Army's swift and decisive action has dealt a significant blow to terrorist infrastructure and capabilities.
