India kills 70 Terrorists in Pak. Lashkar-e-taiba and jaish-e-Mohammad, India conducted 24 missile strikes on nine terror sites pakistan and Pok, killing 70 Terrorists, in response to pahalgam attack.This operation aimed to combat cross-border terrorism and dismantle military-terror links while minimising civilian harm. Seventy terrorists were killed as India carried out 24 missile strikes across nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack, sources in the government have said. Operation Sindoor, the sources said, was more than a military response. “It was a statement of strategic resolve. Through 24 precisely coordinated missile strikes across nine terrorist-linked locations, India demonstrated that it would no longer tolerate cross-border terrorism, nor the complicity of state institutions that enable it,” a source said. The counterstrike left more than 60 terrorists injured across the nine target locations — Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Bahawalpur, Rawalakot, Chakswari, Bhimber, Neelum Valley, Jhelum, and Chakwal.These locations, the sources said, were identified as hubs of terrorist activity. The precision missiles targeted camps affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad. The sources said the counterattack has significantly degraded the operational capability of these terror groups.Among the terrorists killed are mid- to high-ranking field commanders affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, defence sources have said. “These included trainers and logistics officers who had been operating with impunity in the relative safety of Pakistan-administered territory. Intelligence assessments post-operation indicated that key communication nodes were also taken out. This disrupted not only the groups’ operational planning but also their ability to coordinate sleeper cells within India. Several of the destroyed camps were known to be staging grounds for recent infiltrations along the Line of Control,” a government source said.Indian officials have expressed regret for civilian casualties but stressed that all sites targeted were carefully vetted and directly linked to terrorist activity. Terrorist groups, the sources said, often embed their facilities in densely populated civilian areas, complicating any effort to avoid non-combatant casualties completely. The sources said that while India exercised restraint, Pakistan’s narrative was aimed at inflating the civilian impact to gain international sympathy.
