The operation that was carried out in the intervening night of 6-7 May, was to avenge the deaths of 26 tourists in Pahalgam by Pakistan sponsored terrorists on 22 April.

Detailing the attack that was carried out in complete secrecy, Col Sofyia Quereshi said that it started at 1.05 a.m. and was over by 1.30 a.m.

"Over the last three decades Pakistan has systematically built terror infrastructure. It is a complex web of recruitment and indoctrination centres, training areas for initial and refresher courses and launch pads with handlers. These camps are located both in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir," said the officer.

According to reports, the weapons used for the strikes included SCALP cruise missiles, the HAMMER precision bomb, and loitering munitions, among others. The terror camps targeted belong to Hizb-ulMujahideen (HM, Jaish-eMohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiyyaba (LeT).
