In retaliation against the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 people, mostly tourists, dead,  Indian armed forces carried out missile attacks early Wednesday on nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK, including Bahawalpur, which is a major base of Jaish-e-Mohammad terror outfit.

The military strikes were carried out under 'Operation Sindoor', the Indian Army said in a statement released at 1:44 AM. 

"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, the Army said. Pakistan again violates the Ceasefire Agreement by firing artillery in Bhimber Gali in Poonch- Rajauri area. Indian Army is responding appropriately in a calibrated manner," the additional directorate general of public information (ADGPI) of the Indian Army wrote on X.
