Tensions between India and Pakistan rose sharply after the Indian Army carried out a major strike on terrorist camps in **Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK)**. The mission, called **Operation Sindoor**, targeted **nine terror camps** and caused large explosions in **Muzaffarabad**, the main city in PoJK.
Locals reported hearing loud blasts around midnight. Power went out in some areas, and emergency sirens were heard. Though videos have appeared online showing smoke and chaos, their authenticity is still being checked.
Sources in the Indian military say these strikes were in response to recent terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. The targets were carefully chosen to avoid civilian harm. According to officials, only terrorist hideouts and launchpads were hit, using **precision-guided missiles**.
In response, **Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif** said, *“We will respond at a time and place of our choice.”* He called the strikes a violation of Pakistan’s borders but didn’t share details about casualties or damage.
So far, the Indian government has not made an official statement. However, insiders say India will continue to take strong action against terrorism, especially when it’s supported from across the border.
The Line of Control is now on high alert, with both armies ready for any situation. Countries around the world have called for calm but also agree that India has the right to defend itself.
This strike has sent a clear message: **India will not stay silent when it comes to terrorism.**
