Indian Military Strikes Terrorist Bases Near Line of Control: Footage of Indian Army's Destruction of Terrorist Launch Sites
India-Pakistan Tiff: On the night of May 6-7, 2025, amid a flurry of escalating tension, India went on the offensive with Operation Sindoor. The goal was simple: obliterate terrorist launchpads and infrastructure believed to be a hotbed for attacking Indian soil, primarily targeting those in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir[1][2][4].
In an assertive move on the social media front, the Indian Army shared a video on platform X, proclaiming, "In response to Pakistan's deranged attempts at drone strikes on the night of 8th and 9th of May 2025 in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab, we initiated a coordinated fire assault on terrorist launchpads, pulverizing them into smithereens."
The post continued, adding that these terror-birthing sites situated close to the contested Line of Control (LoC) were a breeding ground for planning and executing attacks on Indian civilians and security forces in the past. The Indian Army's rapid response dealt a hefty blow to terrorist infrastructure and capabilities[1].
Pakistani Drones Wreak Havoc
In a statement on X, the Ministry of Defence disclosed that drones had been spotted in 26 locations along India's International Border and LoC with Pakistan.
Friday saw a Pakistani drone strike residential areas in Firozpur, Punjab, injuring three unlucky residents. SSP Ferozepur, Bhupinder Singh Sidhu, shared, "Here we have three injured individuals with burn wounds. The medics are working their magic. The majority of the drones were neutralized by the army." In Jammu, a series of explosions necessitated air defense intervention as India scrambled to fend off Pakistani drones amid a blackout[1].
In a briefing on Saturday regarding the mounting standoff between India and Pakistan, it was revealed that Pakistani troops were being positioned in forward areas by the military [1] (ANI inputs).
