New Delhi, May 7:. The targets set under Operation Sindoor were destroyed with precision as per plan, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Wednesday, hours after the Indian military carried out strikes against nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
India has exercised its ‘right to respond’ to the attack on its soil. Our action has been taken very thoughtfully and in a measured manner,” Singh said while lauding the retaliation by armed forces against the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians were killed.
“We only killed those who killed our innocents,” Singh said at the inauguration of the Border Roads Organisation’s 50 infrastructure projects across six states and two Union territories.
“To break the morale of the terrorists, this action has been limited only to their camps and other infrastructure,” he said.
Indian army has acted with precision, alertness and sensitivity, Singh said, adding, “We have shown sensitivity by not allowing any civilian population to be affected at all”.
In retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces early Wednesday carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba’s base Muridke.
