The Indian armed forces targetted and destroyed nine terror camps in the intervening night of May 6 and 7 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. The strike was executed under Operation Sindoor in 25 minutes between 1:05 am and 1:30 am.
Indian Army used artillery guns and drones to target seven Pakistani terror camps and IAF used fighter jets to target two terror camps.
Armed forces said the targets were selected based on reliable intelligence and the locations were selected to avoid any civilian casualty.
