At least 80 Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists were killed in Pakistan's Bahawalpur in strikes carried out by India, in retaliation for the horrific Pahalgam massacre of 26 people. India carried out missile strikes early Wednesday targeting nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including Bahawalpur, which is known to be a Jaish-e-Mohammed terror haven, in response to the brutal Pahalgam massacre that claimed 26 lives.
As per the officials, the nine sites targeted by India are the JeM headquarters in Bahawalpur and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Muridke, both in Pakistan's Punjab.
The Defence Ministry, in a statement issued, stated that the military strikes were conducted as part of 'Operation Sindoor' at 1:44 am. It emphasised that the Indian armed forces' actions were "precise, restrained, and aimed at avoiding escalation."
