As far as the briefing of the DGMO is concerned, he has also clearly stated that how it started from Pahalgam, Pakistan started it, and we responded to it on May 7. Pakistan then targeted our military airfields and in our villages through drones and heavy artillery. we have responded to this in a tremendous way, 11 of the 16 airfields of Pakistan were ruined, around 100 terrorists were killed there, as well as around 40 of their service personnel were killed, their air defence has been ruined. Their communication, which is around the airfields, has been ruined,” he said.

The Indian Armed Forces’ May 7 precision strikes under Operation Sindoor have dismantled nine major terror camps associated with the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Five of the nine terror camps were located in PoK, and the other four in Pakistan.
Among the destroyed camps in Pakistan, two of those, Muridke and Bhawalpur, stand out more, as they not only serve as residences for major commanders but also serve as epicentres for radicalisation and various training courses on intelligence and arms handling for Laskar as well as Jaish-e-Mohammad. Among the key terror operatives eliminated in the operation was Rauf Azhar the brother-in-law of Maulana Masood Azhar the Jaish Chief. Rauf Azhar, a proscribed terrorist, is wanted for his part in the conspiracy to hijack IC-814. (ANI)
