India wipes out Ajmal Kasab, David Headley’s training camp in Operation Sindoor against Pakistan

India on May 7, 2025, demolished a terror training facility in Pakistan believed to have groomed 26/11 attacker Ajmal Kasab and David Headley, highlighted Colonel Sophia Qureshi while briefing the media about Operation Sindoor.

Launched in the early hours of Wednesday, Operation Sindoor was a coordinated retaliation targeting nine terror sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoK). The strikes involved Rafale fighter jets, cruise missiles, and precision-guided bombs, executed with surgical precision from within Indian airspace.

India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, also speaking on Wednesday, said the strikes were “focused, measured, and non-escalatory,” but conveyed a clear warning.

“Pakistan has a well-defined identity as a haven for terrorists,” Misri stated. “On April 22, a Pakistani and Pakistan-trained Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist carried out a barbaric attack on tourists in Pahalgam, killing 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen. This was the most serious terror incident since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, targeting civilians indiscriminately."

The Indian government emphasised that the operation was conducted with strict safeguards to avoid civilian casualties and infrastructure damage in Pakistan.

The name “Operation Sindoor” is understood to reflect national grief and resolve, especially in memory of the young couples and families who were victims of the Pahalgam attack.

One of the most emotional moments came from the viral image of Navy Lieutenant Vinay Narwal’s widow, whose personal tragedy became a rallying point for national outrage and unity.

The targeted locations included strongholds of terror outfits like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba—groups repeatedly accused of orchestrating attacks on Indian soil. Key sites in Bahawalpur, Muridke, Muzaffarabad, and other areas were hit.

Colonel Qureshi stressed that the operation was carried out with “precision and restraint”, deliberately steering clear of Pakistani military assets to avoid broader escalation.

The strikes have led to heightened military tensions along the border. In northern India, several airports were shut, and civilian air traffic was suspended in key areas including Srinagar, Jammu, and Leh.
