Twenty-six people died in the terror attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22. In response to the attack, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, evicted Pakistani nationals and downgraded diplomatic ties.

The nine targets struck under 'Operation Sindoor', four in Pakistan and five in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, were chosen by the IAF after receiving intelligence inputs about terror camps operating there.

The Ministry of Defence said in a statement that India's action was "focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature".

"A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed. Altogether, nine (9) sites have been targeted. Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution," it said in the statement.
