Five of the nine terror camps were located in PoJK, and the other four in Pakistan.
The strikes came in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed.
Among the destroyed camps in Pakistan, Muridke and Bhawalpur stand out as they not only serve as residences for major commanders but also serve as epicentres for radicalisation and various training courses on intelligence and arms handling for Laskar as well as Jaish-e-Mohammad.
Among the key terror operatives eliminated in the operation was Rauf Azhar, the brother-in-law of Maulana Masood Azhar, the Jaish Chief. Rauf Azhar, a proscribed terrorist, is wanted for his part in the conspiracy to hijack IC-814. (ANI)

UPA regime stood for scams, Modi-led NDA government for nation building: Minister Kishan
HYDERABAD: Union Coal & Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy on Sunday said that while the 'remote-controlled' UPA regime was known for corruption and scams, the BJP-led NDA government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is synonymous with nation building and development. 'During UPA rule, the main headlines in all newspapers used to be on corruption in the government. But in the last 11 years, the Modi-led NDA government has been free of corruption,' he said. The Union minister presided over the Viksit Sankalp Sabha in Secunderabad organised by Malkajgiri MP Eatala Rajender on completion of one year in office. Kishan, who is also the president of the state BJP unit, said: 'In the past, terrorist attacks and bomb blasts used to be the norm. But in the last 11 years, there has been no such terror attack. With surgical and air strikes as well as several other operations, the country, under Modi's leadership, has succeeded in curbing terrorist activities. We responded to the recent Pakistan-sponsored terrorist attack in Pahalgam with Operation Sindoor.' The Union minister also said that the Modi government was moving forward with a development agenda. 'The country is currently witnessing all-round development. Funds are being allocated for rural development, women empowerment, for improving road infrastructure and railway stations,' he said, adding that 32 out of 33 districts in Telangana have now been connected to national highways. He also said that the Union government was distributing PDS rice for 80 crore people in the country. Kishan, meanwhile, slammed the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government for 'failing' to fulfil promises made to the people. 'The Congress is also following in the footsteps of BRS and encouraging corruption,' he alleged. Stating that the BJP is the only party that will be able to protect the interests of Telangana people, he exuded confidence in the saffron party forming the government in the state by winning the next Assembly elections.

Hang seng slides as US-Iran conflict weighs on Asian markets; brent crude spikes 5%, OPEC warns of supply risk
(Image credits: ANI) Brent Crude prices spiked as much as 5% on Monday following the US airstrikes on Iran's key nuclear facilities on Sunday. The move ended days of speculation over whether the US President Donald Trump would join Israel in its confrontation with Iran. While prices surged initially, they soon pared gains. The attacks on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan had led to expectations of a sustained oil rally. Iran is the third-largest producer in the OPEC+ bloc and accounts for around a third of global oil output. Last week, Brent Crude futures rose 11%, touching $80 per barrel before retreating. Prices rebounded again as Trump kept markets guessing on the US's involvement, but hopes of a ceasefire and ample supply from OPEC+ capped further gains. Analysts noted that demand remains weak, giving little reason for oil to hold elevated levels. OPEC+ is scheduled to meet on July 5 to discuss another output hike for August, after already increasing supplies by 4.11 million barrels per day in June and July. Saul Kavonic, an energy analyst at MST Marquee, said, 'Much depends on how Iran responds in the coming hours and days, but this could set us on a path toward $100 oil, if Iran responds as they have previously threatened to,' Iran claims it reserves the right to respond to the US attacks. Local media reports its parliament has approved the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, though the final call rests with its National Security Council. The US has urged China to discourage Iran from taking that step. T he Strait of Hormuz is a critical oil chokepoint, more than 20 million barrels per day, or 20% of the world's oil supply, passed through it last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Goldman Sachs has warned that a closure of the strait could push oil prices above $100 per barrel. However, JPMorgan views the possibility as low, saying such a move could be seen by the US as an "act of war." Rising crude prices could hurt India's economy, particularly oil marketing companies like HPCL, BPCL, and Indian Oil, along with industries like aviation, paints, and tyres that rely heavily on oil. Goldman Sachs' Santanu Sengupta told CNBC-TV18 that a rise in crude to $75 per barrel would hurt India's macroeconomic stability. A $10-per-barrel increase could raise the cost burden by 30–40 basis points. Samiran Chakraborty, chief India economist at Citi, also noted that supply chain disruptions could raise inflation risks, but said India may still be able to manage slightly higher prices due to its limited exposure to Iranian oil. US officials said no further strikes are planned for now, but warned that any retaliation from Iran would invite an even more forceful response. 'This is the big one,' said John Kilduff of Again Capital, pointing to a possible $8-a-barrel risk premium. 'The market default on this development is higher. How high depends on Iran's response, or the realistic prospects of a meaningful response, which may not be there.'
