Eight cross-border terrorist camps are still active, the army chief said on Tuesday, warning Pakistan that India would respond strongly to any future misadventure and reaffirming that Operation Sindoor was still on. “I believe these were defensive drones, (sent to) see if any action was being taken against them (Pakistan). While the LoC separates the Kashmir valley from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), the IB separates Jammu, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat from Pakistan. During the May 7-10 Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, India claimed to have destroyed nine terrorist camps — four in Pakistan and five in PoK — linked to the Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Hizbul Mujahideen. Op SindoorDwivedi said two “turning points” during Sindoor had forced Pakistan to “call” and seek a cessation of firing.
