New Delhi, June 3(HS): During Operation 'Sindoor', Indian armed forces targeted several Pakistani bases, which were not acknowledged in the official statements from the Indian Air Force or DGMO. A dossier submitted by Pakistan on May 18 confirmed that Indian missiles and drones inflicted extensive damage across various locations, including Peshawar, Jhang, Hyderabad in Sindh, as well as Gujranwala, Bahawalnagar, Attock, and Chhor in Punjab. The official records indicated that the Indian strikes hit at least seven additional sites beyond those publicly specified. Reports indicated that India attacked deeper into Pakistan than it had initially claimed, prompting Pakistan to seek a ceasefire to halt Operation 'Sindoor.'

The operation commenced on May 6/7 in response to the terrorist attack that killed 26 tourists in Pahalgam. India targeted nine terrorist camps associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen within Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) without crossing the border, using advanced weaponry. Satellite images released by Maxar Technologies provided evidence of the damage inflicted by these airstrikes.

India explicitly mentioned strikes on key terrorist infrastructures including the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters and various training camps, as well as multiple air bases across Punjab and Sindh. Pakistan's dossier indicated that the Indian airstrikes reached deeper targets than those disclosed earlier, with unreported drone attacks resulting in significant damage to air bases. Ultimately, due to substantial losses, Pakistan had to agree to a ceasefire, concluding the intense standoff after three days.
