India strikes ‘terrorist targets’ in Pakistan
RT
India announced early on Wednesday it had launched “Operation Sindoor”against “terrorists” in Pakistan and the Pakistani-held part of disputed Kashmir. New Delhi said it had already hit nine targets, insisting that they consisted of “terrorist infrastructure” only.
“Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution,” the Indian government said in a statement.
On April 22, a deadly attack in Baisaran Valley left 26 civilians dead. India has held Pakistan indirectly responsible, alleging cross-border militant involvement. The Resistance Front, believed to be tied to the Pakistani-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, initially claimed responsibility for the attack, though later reports indicated that the group distanced itself from it. Islamabad has vehemently denied that it had any role in the attack and has called for an impartial probe.
The nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors have fought four wars since both gained independence from the UK in 1947.

India Launches Strikes On Pakistan After Terror Attack
TYLER DURDEN
Things just escalated in a huge and dangerous way between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan, with the Indian government confirming it has launched strikes on nine sites inside Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
"No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted," the statement added according to Reuters, in a 'counter-terror' operation dubbed "Operation Sindoor".
India identified that it hit the terrorist infrastructure of Islamist groups in retaliation for the April 22 terror attack on Indian tourists in Kashmir which killed 26 in the scenic Pahalgam area.
The fact that India is taking pains to let the Pakistani side know that no official military sites were targeted strongly suggests New Delhi is trying to strike without it leading to escalation.
