New Delhi: Fifteen days after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, India has taken strong action through a secret mission called Operation Sindoor. In this special operation, Indian forces reportedly entered about 100 kilometers inside Pakistan and destroyed nine hideouts of terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hizbul Mujahideen. Two senior members of Lashkar-e-Taiba—Hafiz Abdul Malik and Muddasir—were killed during an attack on the group’s base, Markaz Tayyaba.
The operation is seen as a strong response to the Pahalgam incident. According to sources, Indian forces targeted camps linked to attacks on India. The focus was to send a clear message that India will not stay silent when it comes to protecting its people.
2 top terror leaders killed
One of the men killed, Hafiz Abdul Malik, was said to be a major figure in Lashkar’s operations. He was at the group’s main center in Muridke when the strike happened. The second person, Muddasir, reportedly played a key role in bringing foreign fighters into Lashkar’s plans. Both men were killed immediately in the operation.
The mission was carried out with the help of Indian intelligence agencies and special army teams. It is being seen as a strong signal that India is serious about ending terrorism. Officials say it also shows India’s clear stand on not tolerating threats to its safety or sovereignty.
Jaish-e-Mohammed base also targeted
Among the locations hit were buildings connected to Jaish-e-Mohammed. The largest strike took place in Bahawalpur, which is around 100 kilometers inside Pakistan and is believed to be Jaish’s main base. Other spots included Lashkar and Hizbul training camps.
One key target was a Lashkar base in Muridke, 30 kilometers inside Pakistan near the Samba sector. This camp is linked to the 2008 Mumbai attacks. It was used to train terrorists involved in those attacks, including Ajmal Kasab. Important figures like David Headley and Tahawwur Rana had also visited the Lashkar headquarters at this location.
