Nine terrorist camps were destroyed. The targets were selected based on credible intelligence and their direct involvement in cross-border terrorism
Digital Desk: The Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and military leaders Colonel Sofiya Qureshi from the Indian Army and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh from the Indian Air Force presented India's definitive counterattack to the Pahalgam terror attack during a historic media briefing on Operation Sindoor.
The successful coordination of Operation Sindoor was made possible by Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who serves as the trailblazing leader of the Indian Army’s Corps of Signals. At Force 18, she made history by becoming the first Indian woman to lead her military team in a multinational ASEAN exercise while being the one and only female commander among all participating forces. Qureshi belongs to the third generation of her family who has served in the military as her grandfather and father both operated in uniform.
During the briefing confirmed that "Nine terrorist camps got completely obliterated" during the briefing. The targets received selection based on truthful intelligence, which confirmed their participation in cross-border terrorist activities. All strikes had exclusive focus on terrorist camps without hitting any Pakistani military bases.
Under Operation Sindoor, India's Armed Forces targeted Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist bases that amounted to four targets in Pakistan and five bases in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). India conducted this military operation with a "measured" and "non-escalatory" focus while targeting to achieve justice for terror victims, according to the Ministry of Defence.
Colonel Qureshi built her career by serving in the UN peacekeeping mission in Congo and spending significant time teaching humanitarian mine action courses. She obtained both her BSc and MSc degrees in biochemistry from MS University in Vadodara. Following opportunities for female Army recruits, she abandoned her doctoral studies to join the military and serve as an inspiration to upcoming young females.
As the Indian government released a success video, Pakistan was reportedly caught off guard, further highlighting the precision and surprise of the strike.
