India strikes ‘terrorist targets’ in Pakistan: LIVE UPDATES

The strikes are aimed at “terrorist camps” and not at the Pakistani armed forces, New Delhi has said

India announced early on Wednesday it had launched “Operation Sindoor” against “terrorists” in Pakistan and the Pakistani-held part of disputed Kashmir. New Delhi said it had already hit nine targets, insisting that they consisted of “terrorist infrastructure” only.

“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,” the Indian government said in a statement.
