New Delhi: Two days after the ceasefire declaration, the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan will hold talks on the hotline at noon today. Both DGMOs earlier spoke on Saturday and decided ceasefire amid increasing tensions.
Tensions between India and Pakistan increased further after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed and several others were injured. Following the attack that was claimed by The Resistance Force, the sister group of Pakistan-based terror group LeT, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 against it and two other terror groups of the neighbouring country JeM and HM.
India attacked as many as nine locations of these terror groups in which several terrorists were killed. While India did not target any military or civilian locations, Pakistan tried to hit India’s military installations and other institutions by drones which India successfully destroyed.
Late on Saturday evening, India Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri once again held a press meeting to announce the ceasefire declaration, shortly after the same was announced by the US. However, Pakistan violated the ceasefire again by targeting several locations in India, only to be successfully thwarted again.
Over 100 terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor: DGMO
“I have no doubt in my mind that we achieved total surprise and those strikes across those nine terror hubs left more than 100 terrorists killed, including high-value targets,” DGMO Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai said on Sunday.
Addressing the press meeting with him, Director General of Air Operations, IAF, Air Marshal AK Bharti added, “We carefully selected the targets and out of the nine selected targets, the target systems that were given to the IAF, were the notorious training camps at Bahawalpur and Muridke.”
