The Indian Air Force ( IAF) on Sunday took to X to announce that it has successfully executed its assigned tasks in Operation Sindoor with "professionalism and precision", adding that the job was done in a deliberate manner.
"The Indian Air Force (IAF) has successfully executed its assigned tasks in Operation Sindoor, with precision and professionalism. Operations were conducted in a deliberate and discreet manner, aligned with National Objectives."
The IAF however, added that it would provide a detailed briefing soon as the Operations are still ongoing, urging people to refrain from speculation from unverified information.
"Since the Operations are still ongoing, a detailed briefing will be conducted in due course. The IAF urges all to refrain from speculation and dissemination of unverified information."
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in reply to a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalganm on April 22, which killed 26 civilians.
It was followed by heightened tensions between the two nations as Pakistan launched a series of drone attacks on several Indian cities.
India and Pakistan agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire, effective from 5 PM on Saturday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri announced.
The stoppage of firing and military action between India and Pakistan was worked out directly between the two countries, as per sources. India has worked this out bilaterally and not as a result of mediation, the sources said.
However, India said Pakistan violated an agreement to stop military action against each other, hours after the accord was reached and had gone into effect at 5 pm on Saturday.
“For the last few hours, there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening,” foreign secretary Vikram Misri said at a televised briefing late on Saturday. “The armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations. We call upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility.”
Operation Sindoor
The Indian Armed Forces' precision strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on May 7's Operation Sindoor resulted in the elimination of high-profile terrorists affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), including Maulana Yusuf Azhar, wanted for the IC-814 hijacking.
According to sources, targets also included key figures involved in radical indoctrination, weapons training, and the coordination of terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
Details from the source further revealed that the funeral sessions of some of the targets were also attended by top officials in the PakistArmy, Police as well as the government, which exhibits Pakistan's false claims of not nurturing terrorist hideouts in the country.
Lashkar-e-Taiba-affiliated Mudassar Khadian Khas and Khalid, alias Abu Akasha, were two of the terrorists killed in the May 7 strikes.
Khas was in charge of Markaz Taiba in Muridke and received a guard of honour at his funeral from the Pakistan Army. Wreaths were also laid on behalf of Pakistan Army Chief and Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz for Khas and his funeral prayer was held in a government school, led by a designated global terrorist Hafiz Abdul Rauf of Jamaat-ul-Dawa (JuD). A serving Lt General of the Pakistan Army and the Inspector General of Pakistan's Punjab Police also attended his prayer ceremony.
Khalid, on the other hand, was involved in multiple terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and engaged in weapons smuggling from Afghanistan. His funeral, held in Pakistan's Faisalabad, was attended by senior Pakistani Army officials and the Deputy Commissioner of Faisalabad.
Meanwhile, Jaish-e-Mohammed-affiliated Hafiz Muhammed Jameel, Mohammad Yusuf Azhar the brother in law of Masood Azhar and Mohammad Hassan Khan were also killed during the precision strike.
Mohammad Yusuf Azhar, brother-in-law of Maulana Masood Azhar, was wanted for the IC-814 hijacking case. He also used to handle weapons training for JeM and was involved in multiple terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
Eldest brother-in-law of Maulana Masood Azhar, Hafiz Muhammed Jameel, was another target who was in charge of Markaz Subhan Allah in Pakistan's Bahawalpur. He was actively involved in radical indoctrination of youth and fundraising for JeM.
Mohammad Hassan Khan, son of Mufti Asghar Khan Kashmiri, was the operational commander of JeM in (PoK) who played a key role in coordinating terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Indian Armed Forces during Operation Sindoor destroyed five terror camps in PoK and four in Pakistan.
