In the early hours of Wednesday, May 7, Indian Armed Forces successfully destroyed nine terror camps in Pakistan under 'Operation Sindoor' and in the operation Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) headquarters at Pakistan's Bahawalpur was hit hardest, reported ANI citing sources.
"Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters at Bahawalpur (Pakistan) was hit the hardest, most potent weapon was used. Jaish-e-Mohammed was created by ISI. It was an important message by India," ANI quoted sources as saying.
The news agency also stated that during the operation by Indian armed forces the runway of Rahim Yar Khan airbase in Pakistan's Chakala was totally flattened and Pakistan Air Force base Nur Khan, situated in Chaklala was also hit badly.
“There were no talks between the National Security Advisors and the Foreign Ministers of India and Pakistan. There were only talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries,” the report said.
The Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22, which resulted in the killings of 26 civilians, mostly tourists.
Following India's operation, the conflict between the two neighbours deepened, which resulted in increased cross-border shelling from Pakistan and retaliatory action from the Indian armed forces.
Areas across the India-Pakistan border were put on high alert and people were moved to safer places.
On May 11, both the countries agreed to a cessation of military activities against each other after US President Donald Trump, on his Truth Social, announced a "ceasefire" between India and Pakistan.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Saturday said the director generals of military operations of India and Pakistan agreed on the understanding during a call on Saturday afternoon, and the next talks are scheduled at 12 noon on May 12.
However, hours after the ceasefire announcement, reports came of Pakistan violating the cessation of hostilities with India's air defence intercepting Pakistani drones amid a blackout in Srinagar.
