Following a string of predawn strikes against nine terror camps in the border area, the Indian Army released a series of videos that took the exact moment when the military strikes were launched against terror infractions located in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan.
The videos provide a close-up view of how the Indian Air Force and Army carried out a 25-minute air bombing campaign, with special focus on key terrorist strongholds, including those associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Pakistan.
Two female commanders of the Armed Forces spoke to the nation earlier in the day to provide details about 'Operation Sindoor,' and said nine terror launchpads—five in PoK and four inside Pakistan—were hit by 21 precision strikes.
The operation started at 1:04 a.m. and concluded at 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The Indian Army initially announced the success of Operation Sindoor on X (ex-Twitter), declaring, "Justice is served. Jai Hind."
The Indian Army also uploaded videos in which the exact seconds when the terror strongholds were being destroyed could be witnessed. In one of the videos that was uploaded, the first target in Kotli could be seen, with the Army captioning, "Target 1 – Abbas Terrorist Camp at Kotli. Distance – 13 Km from the Line of Control (POJK). Nerve Centre for training suicide bombers of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Key training infrastructure for over 50 terrorists."
Another post referenced the destruction of the Gulpur Terrorist Camp in Kotli, 30 km from the Line of Control and a prime base of Lashkar-e-Taiba. The Army uploaded video of the attack, with the additional note that the camp was "Destroyed at 1:08 AM."
Also, an earlier video emerged of the Subhan Allah terror camp in Bahawalpur, Pakistan being brought down to ruins. The Jaish-e-Mohammed linked camp was completely flattened with nothing but concrete and rubble left. The video, apparently filmed after India's surgical strikes, depicted the extent of damage caused.
Bahawalpur, the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters, was also one of the most significant hubs of recruiting and indoctrinating militants. The video proof presented by the Army is extremely important, as the previous Balakot raids on terror camps in PoK were challenged by Pakistan and some Indian political parties. In this instance, the strong visual proof will hopefully remove any doubts about the genuineness of the raids.
