Recently, India announced the beginning of a military operation called "Sindoor", aimed at striking infrastructure targets in Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir.
According to the statement of the Indian government today, in the afternoon, the Indian army conducted the "Sindoor" operation, focused on destroying nine targets in Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir. The government added that no Pakistani military targets had been attacked. The statement of the Indian government about the strike noted: "We predetermined a high level of self-restraint in choosing the objectives and methods of execution." In Islamabad, the Pakistani army threatened to retaliate to "aerial strikes" made by India in "three regions" of Pakistan, as announced by the military representative at night on Tuesday, indicating an attack on two targets in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir and a third target in the adjoining Indian Punjab.
The agency France-Presse reports that in the Pakistani part of Kashmir and in Punjab, powerful explosions were heard. Lieutenant-General Ahmed Shudri, the official representative of the army, stated: "We will respond at the necessary time and place." Pakistani officials early this morning locally reported that India had launched rockets across the border in three places, amid escalating tensions between the two countries due to attacks by armed militants in parts of Kashmir, under India's control. According to three anonymous Pakistani military sources, the rockets hit targets in part of Kashmir, located under India's control, and also in the adjoining Indian region of Punjab on the eastern border of the country.
