‘Justice Is Served': Indian Army Videos Show Terror Camps Destroyed In PoK, Pakistan
Last Updated:
These sites highlight the systematic infrastructure that supports cross-border terrorism, involving hundreds of trained militants under senior leadership
The Indian Army on Wednesday released videos of Operation Sindoor, the country's pre-dawn strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK that were used by groups like the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, revealing the precision strikes by the forces.
Soon after the strikes, the official handle of the Indian Army shared a poster of Operation Sindoor, with the message 'Justice is Served'.
Pakistan hosts several key terror facilities operated by groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), which are actively used for recruitment, training, and infiltration into India.
JeM's Markaz Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur, which was targeted, was its operational headquarters and linked to attacks like Pulwama. LeT's Markaz Taiba in Muridke has trained perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Other significant launch pads include facilities in Kotli, Muzaffarabad, and Sialkot, often run from government buildings and aided by Pakistan's ISI and military. These camps provide arms training, religious indoctrination, and support infiltration via tunnels and drones, while locations like Shawai Nallah and Markaz Syedna Bilal serve as major transit and operational bases for attacks in Jammu & Kashmir.
Collectively, these sites highlight the systematic infrastructure that supports cross-border terrorism, involving hundreds of trained militants under senior leadership, posing a persistent threat to regional security and stability.
Numerous training camps (Markaz), Detachments (Detts.), and launch pads are strategically located near military areas, Basic Health Units (BHUs), and Primary Health Centers (PHCs), providing cover for terrorist activities. Notable sites such as Sarjal–Tehra Kalan (JeM) and Mehmoona Joya–Sialkot (HM) are embedded within health facilities, enabling covert operations. These groups are equipped with advanced military-grade communication systems, including LoRa, Ultra Sets, and Digital Mobile Radios (DMR), to evade technical surveillance. Additionally, the Pakistan military supports these operations by enhancing Pak-TSP signal strength across the International Border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC), facilitating communications with infiltrated operatives.

India can play proactive role in stopping Iran-Israel war, says West Asia strategist Awwad
New Delhi [India], June 23 (ANI): West Asia expert and veteran journalist Waiel Awwad on Sunday said that India can play a proactive role in stopping the ongoing war between Iran and Israel. While speaking to ANI about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Awwad emphasised that India should leverage its position to de-escalate tensions in the region. '...Prime Minister Modi has said that this era is not for war. Peace should prevail. India will be affected by the war situation in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries and the Persian Gulf. Food and oil security will be affected...7 billion dollars of Indian revenue is generated there, so India will suffer...,' he said. 'India says that it is taking a leadership position -- even the G20 was held here -- which means India can play a proactive role in stopping this war,' he added. PM Modi on Sunday spoke with the President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, expressing deep concern at the recent escalations and called for 'immediate de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy'. In a post on X, PM Modi wrote, 'Spoke with President of Iran @drpezeshkian. We discussed in detail about the current situation. Expressed deep concern at the recent escalations.' He emphasised the need for a peaceful resolution and added, 'Reiterated our call for immediate de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy as the way forward and for early restoration of regional peace, security and stability.' During the intervening hours of Saturday and Sunday, the US and Israel targeted Iran's nuclear sites in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. Fardow is Iran's main enrichment location for uranium enrichment to 60 per cent. According to a CNN report, the US likely used six B-2 bombers to drop a dozen GBU-57 A/B 'bunker buster' bombs, also known as Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOP), on the Fordow nuclear site, which is Iran's main location for uranium enrichment. A US official also told CNN that a full payload of bombs was dropped on Fordow. In his first public remarks following the strikes, President Trump warned that further action could be taken if Tehran fails to agree to a satisfactory peace settlement. 'There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we've witnessed over the last eight days,' Trump said in his address to the nation from the White House on Saturday (local time).
