According to sources, Indian forces struck four key locations within Pakistan including Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Sialkot along with five additional targets located in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
The Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force jointly carried out the operation, mobilising assets and troops. The sources revealed that the strikes on all 9 targets were successful. The Indian Army targeted top Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders who are involved in sponsoring terrorist activities in India.
