A new footage of the precision strike launched by the Indian Army in Pakistan has surfaced with loud explosions heard. The video is reportedly from Bahawalpur, Pakistan where the Indian Army targeted Markaz Subhan Allah.
The building serves as the operational headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed and is associated with terrorist planning including the Pulwama attack on February 14, 2019, reported ANI quoting sources. The perpetrators of the Pulwama attack were trained at this camp, it added.
The Indian Army launched late-night 'Operation Sindoor' on Wednesday, targetting nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The locations that were targeted included Markaz Subhan Allah (Bahawalpur), Markaz Taiba (Muridke), Sarjal / Tehra Kalan, Mehmoona Joya Facility (Sialkot), Markaz Ahle Hadith Barnala (Bhimber), Markaz Abbas (Kotli), Maskar Raheel Shahid (Kotli), Shawai Nallah Cam (Muzaffarabad), and Markaz Syedna Bilal.
The military strikes were in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack where 26 civilians were killed in the Baisaran Valley.
In a statement, the defence ministry said that the actions were focused, measured and non-escalatory" in nature and that no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted.
"India has demonstrated considerable restraint in the selection of targets and method of execution," it said.
