The Indian Army on Sunday announced that three terrorists, who were responsible for the Pulwama terror strike and the flight IC-814 hijack, were eliminated during the Operation Sindoor that was conducted across nine terror hubs inside Pakistan and PoK on May 7.

They were identified as Yusuf Azhar, Abdul Malik Rauf, and Mudasir Ahmed.

The Indian Army said 100 terrorists were killed during the strikes.

Addressing a press briefing on the operation that was launched in response to the deadly Pahalgam attack on April 22 that left at least 26 tourists, mostly non-Muslim people, dead, Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt. Gen. Rajiv Ghai said: "Operation Sindoor was conceptualized with a clear military aim to punish the perpetrators and planners of terror and to destroy their terror infrastructure. What I do not state here is the often-stated determination of India and its intolerance to terror."

Ghai said: "Those strikes across those nine terror hubs left more than 100 terrorists killed, including high value targets such as Yusuf Azhar, Abdul Malik Rauf and Mudasir Ahmed that were involved in the hijack of IC814 and the Pulwama blast. "

Pulwama Attack

Leaving the country shocked, 40 paramilitary personnel were martyred in a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama in 2019.

Ceasefire

India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire effective 5 pm on Saturday after four days of intense military exchanges following Operation Sindoor, which was undertaken to strike terror bases in Pakistan and PoK in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack.

However, hours after the deal, Pakistan, later in the night, violated the agreement along the LoC at multiple locations.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said late Saturday night that within hours of the ceasefire declaration, Pakistan violated the agreement, prompting India to demand that Islamabad act responsibly and rein in the breaches.
