India repels Pak attack on targets in 15 cities, neutralises Lahore's air defence

from India Today

The armed forces targeted air defence radars at a number of locations in Pakistan and destroyed the system in Lahore on Thursday after Islamabad attempted to strike 15 military targets in India in response to Operation Sindoor.

Sources said Pakistan's HQ-9 missile defence system units, developed by China, were hit by Israeli-made HARPY kamikaze drones, effectively rendering the Pakistani army defenceless in Lahore.

The government's statement came shortly after Pakistan claimed one drone crashed near Lahore, while 12 others were taken down close to Gujranwala, Chakwal, Bahawalpur, Miano, Karachi, Chhor, Rawalpindi, and Attock.

Pakistan claimed that four army personnel sustained injuries in Lahore while one civilian was killed in Miano, Sindh.

The incident comes a day after India struck terror camps in Pakistan, in an operation named 'Sindoor', in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives...

24 Strikes, 9 Terror Camps, 70 Killed: India Rained Hell For 25 Minutes

from NDTV

It took just 25 minutes for India to unleash 24 missiles that struck nine terror camps and killed 70 terrorists in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes, which lasted from 1:05 AM to 1:30 AM on May 7, were carried out jointly by the Indian Army and the Air Force under the codename Operation Sindoor.

At a press briefing in New Delhi, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, flanked by Colonel Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, said the operation was a "measured and proportionate" response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. That assault, attributed to Pakistan-based terror groups, claimed the lives of 26 people, including one Nepali national, and left many others injured.

Colonel Qureshi said that the operation marked a shift in strategy. "For the last three decades, Pakistan has been constructing terror infrastructure, including recruitment centres, training areas, and launch pads across PoJK and Pakistan. This operation was intended to dismantle those facilities and prevent future attacks," she said.

"Our intelligence indicated that further attacks against India are impending. Thus, compulsion, both to deter and prevent and hence earlier this morning, India exercised its right to respond to deter such more cross-border terrorism... Our actions were measured and non-escalatory, proportionate and responsible. They focused on dismantling terrorists' infrastructure," said Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri...

Stand with Pakistan's ISI-run LeT Terrorists My Ass!

India Strikes Pakistan but Is Said to Have Lost Jets

(Pakistan is trying to escalate the conflict while India is doing the opposite. They have every right to strike the terrorist training facilities after the recent attack. Seems like they hit 5 locations and Pakistan claims they only killed 20 people, hardly targeting population centers. And India waited for Pakistan to take action against LeT which is run by the ISI and CIA, but they did NOTHING so India took action which was within their rights to do. We can judge from Pakistan's behavior who is to blame for this destabilization campaign and who is in the right.) 

from the NYT

 

... 

India said on Wednesday that it had struck Pakistan after gathering evidence “pointing towards the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists” in last month’s attack on civilians in a tourist area in Kashmir. It said that its military actions had been “measured, responsible and designed to be nonescalatory in nature.” It added that it had targeted only “known terror camps.”

In its own statement on Wednesday, the Pakistani government called the Indian strikes “an unprovoked and blatant act of war” that had “violated Pakistan’s sovereignty.” Pakistani military officials said they had begun a “measured but forceful” response, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif claimed that the country’s forces had downed five Indian aircraft — a claim that could not be verified...

The Menace That Is Lashkar-e-Taiba

(Funding to start LeT back in '87 came from Osama bin Laden and his mujaheddin in Afghanistan (1979 to 1988) and it is widely understood (see Hillary Clinton admit in congress that we created and ran bin Laden's mujaheddin in order to drive the Soviet Union out of Afghanistan) which means, the group that brutally attacked tourists in April of 2025 killing 26 people were started, financed and ran by U.S. intel agencies and Pakistan's ISI (which is also run by the CIA))

from Carnegie Endowment 2012

Though the international community first began taking notice of the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) after its spectacular coordinated bombing and shooting attacks in Mumbai, India, in November 2008, the group was established in 1987 at a time when Pakistan was in the throes of Islamic ferment. Then, LeT had access to a steady supply of volunteers, funding, and—most important of all—concerted state support. Long bolstered by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate, this Wahhabi group promotes the vision of a universal Islamic caliphate through tableegh and jihad—preaching and armed struggle. Though India and Kashmir have been LeT’s primary area of operations so far, the group has an unsettling presence internationally.

It is clear that after al-Qaeda, LeT is the most dangerous terrorist group operating in South Asia..

TRF head Sheikh Sajjad Gul identified as mastermind behind Pahalgam terror attack

(U.S. intel agencies like the CIA and DIA run Pakistan's ISI who run the proxy army Lashkar-e-Taiba who carried out the attack in India  back in late April. The Indian's know this so they waited for Pakistan to do something to the LeT terrorists and when they didn't India attack LeT training facilities during Operation Sindoor.)

from the Economic Times of India

Sheikh Sajjad Gul, a 50-year-old Kashmiri and head of Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy The Resistance Front (TRF), has emerged as the mastermind of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists, on April 22, officials said Wednesday. Holed up in the Cantonment town of Rawalpindi, Pakistan, under the patronage of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Gul, who also goes by the alias of Sajjad Ahmed Sheikh, has been a planner of a number of terror attacks, including targeted killings betw ..  

Sheikh The NIA had designated him a terrorist in April 2022 and kept a reward of Rs 10 lakh on his head.  The official said that during the investigation into the deadly April 22 Pahalgam attack, links and some communications have been traced back to Gul. The TRF had claimed responsibility for the attack. 

The group, under Gul's instruction, had shot 25 tourists at point-blank range after asking their religion in Pahalgam on April 22. A local tourist guide was also killed by the terrorists.  Used by Pakistan's external snooping agency ISI as a Kashmiri face of the local Punjabi-dominated Lashkar-e-Taiba, Sheikh was educated in Srinagar and did his MBA from Bangalore, later pivoting to a lab technician course in Kerala. He returned to the Valley, where he opened a diagnostic lab and started ..  

During his work as an overground worker (OGW) of the terror group, Gul was caught by the Special Cell of the Delhi police in 2002 from Nizamuddin Railway Station with 5 kilograms of RDX. It was revealed that he was conducting a recce and conspiring to conduct serial blasts in the national capital, for which he was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment on August 7, 2003. 

He moved to Pakistan after his release from prison in 2017, where the ISI chose him to lead a proxy of the LeT - The Resistance Front (TRF) - in Kashmir in 2019 to give it a facade of an indigenous terror movement of Jammu and Kashmir.  

 The creation of TRF was a strategy of the ISI in the aftermath of the Pulwama incident in February 2019, when Pakistan had come to the adverse notice of the world for sponsoring and harbouring terror outfits like LeT and JeM.  His brother, an ex-doctor in Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital, Srinagar, was also a terrorist in the 1990s who had migrated to Saudi Arabia and later to Pakistan, where he is now involved in terror funding with fugitives in Gulf countries.  

India strikes ‘terrorist targets’ in Pakistan

from RT

...

New Delhi’s precision strike on terrorist camps in Pakistan was a response to last month’s attack in India-controlled Kashmir that left 26 unarmed civilians dead, Tara Kartha, Director for Research and Analysis at the Centre for Land Warfare Studies (CLAWS), told RT, contending that the  move was both necessary and lawful.

She emphasized that India had showed restraint and waited for Pakistan to act against the terrorist networks itself. However, after no action was taken, the country exercised its right under UN conventions to defend itself.

“We waited... hoping they would do something. They didn’t,” Katha said, describing the recent terror attack carried out, as New Delhi maintains, by Pakistan-link terrorists, as brutal, with victims targeted based on religion. According to the expert, India aimed to avoid escalation by targeting only terrorists and leaving civilians unharmed...

Civilian toll mounts as India, Pakistan stand on brink of war

(Looks like someone got what they wanted with their proxy army attack on that tourist spot in India.)

from PressTV

India and Pakistan have started heavy artillery exchanges along their contested frontier, after New Delhi launched missile strikes on its arch-rival in a major escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors. 

Deaths were reported on both sides on Wednesday. Pakistan said Indian strikes had killed at least 26 civilians and wounded 46 others, and India said Pakistani artillery fire had killed 10 civilians and injured 48 others along the de facto border.

Islamabad said it had shot down five Indian Air Force jets.

Tensions intensified after India launched "Operation Sindoor" at about 1 am on Wednesday, executing synchronized missile attacks against nine "terrorist facilities" across Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

India says its missile strikes specifically targeted "militant infrastructure" in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and eastern Punjab province of the country.

An Indian defense ministry statement said the operation came in the wake of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, that killed 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen on April 22.

In a post-strike video shared on X, the Indian army said its operations was "focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature...

 Pakistani representative Syed Haider Shah on Thursday made a powerful argument in support of UNRWA and the Palestinians at the International Court of Justice and destroyed the plains made by the US in support of Israel on Wednesday. Pakistan bravely highlighted the hidden agenda of Netanyahu to get rid of the UN agency UNRWA.

What is The Resistance Front, the group claiming the deadly Kashmir attack?

(It's been widely understood that Lashkar-e-Taiba is just another destabilization proxy army in the mold of al Qaeda, al Nusra or ISIS. The fact that they use Telegram is telling.)

Even as news of the deadliest attack on Indian-administered Kashmir’s tourists in decades filtered in on social media platforms and television screens, a message appeared on Telegram chats.

The Resistance Front (TRF), a little-known armed group that emerged in the region in 2019, claimed responsibility for the attack in which at least 26 tourists were killed and more than a dozen others were injured on Tuesday...

Wikileaks Cable Promotes the Need for Regime Change in Tribal Areas of Pakistan (archive)

(archived from January 14, 2011)

by Scott Creighton

As if we needed more evidence that Wikileaks is simply a psyop program designed to help promote various propaganda operations across the intel community’s “to do” list, a recent “leak” makes the case that though CIA assassination programs are an “important part” of the unilateral actions taken in Pakistan, they by themselves, will not be enough to stem the threat of future nuclear terrorism.

This “leak”, naively being hailed as important by various starry-eyed left-wing Assange fans, details yet another key part of the U.S. plan for Pakistan;  complete “regime change” in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, bringing them under control of Pakistan, but only after Pakistan itself becomes more west-friendly, a.k.a. “stable”. In short, it calls for a kind of Pakistani “surge”.
