He further said that this time, Indian Armed Forces attacked the terrorists and their camps 100 km inside Pakistan. He further warned the terrorists saying if any terrorist activity happens with the people of India, the response will be twice in strength.
“…Our military gave a befitting reply to terrorists by attacking 100 km inside Pakistan. Those who planned many international terrorist activities who were hidden in Sialkot and other terrorist camps; ‘un sab ko hamare bomb ke dhamakon ke gunj ne ek spasht sandesh bheja hai’ – if any terrorist activity happens with the people of India, the response will be twice in strength…” he added.
Shah further hailed the country’s air defence system and said India attacked their 15 air bases and destroyed their capability of air attack but didn’t inflict any harm to their civilians.
“When Pakistan dared to attack the entire Western border, but under the leadership of PM Modi, our Air Defence System has become so perfect that none of the missiles or drones reached India’s land. After killing more than 100 dreadful terrorists, Pakistan was still thinking, and we attacked their 15 air bases, but we didn’t inflict any harm to their people… We destroyed their capability of Air attack,” he added.
Operation Sindoor
India launched “precision strikes” under Operation Sindoor on nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. The strikes killed at least 10 family members of JeM chief Masood Azhar and four close aides.
The sites targeted were the Pakistani bases at Rafiqui (Shorkot, Jhang), Murid (Chakwal), Nur Khan (Chaklala, Rawalpindi) Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur and Chunian (Kasur). In the strikes, the air bases in Skardu, Bholari, Jacobabad and Sargodha suffered extensive damage.
Within a tightly coordinated 24-minute window, India targeted 21 terror camps linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) across nine locations, four in Pakistan and five in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The targets were not just aimed at avenging the Pahalgam attack, but also targeting terror sites where other such attacks were planned.
