India says military operation lasted for 25 minutes in press briefing; Pakistan sends demarche to Indian chargé d'affaires: reports
"Earlier this morning...India exercised its right to respond and pre-empt as well as deter more such cross-border attacks. These actions were measured, non-escalatory, proportionate, and responsible. They focused on dismantling the terrorist infrastructure and disabling terrorists likely to be sent across to India," Indian foreign secretary Vikram Misri said on Wednesday, when addressing a media briefing, Hindustan Times reported.
The Indian government on Wednesday confirmed carrying out air strikes on nine identified "terrorist-training camps" located in the Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally monitored the air strikes, according to Xinhua News Agency, citing Indian media.
The air strikes were carried out under "Operation Sindoor", which was dedicated to the women whose husbands were killed in the Pahalgam area of the Indian-controlled Kashmir on April 22, the reports said, according to Xinhua.
The attack, which started at 1:05 am, lasted for 25 minutes, according to NDTV.
"Altogether nine sites have been targeted. Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India had demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution," India's Ministry of Defense said in a press release. It added these steps came in the wake of the Pahalgam attack on tourists in the Indian-controlled Kashmir on April 22, in which 25 Indian and one Nepali citizen were killed, reported Xinhua.
According to The Nation, Pakistan has sent a demarche to India's Chargé d'Affaires Geetika Srivastava and summoned her to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
