Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai said that nine terrorist camps—some in Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK) and others in Pakistan’s Punjab province—were identified by Indian intelligence agencies as active and inhabited. Among them was Muridke, known to be a Lashkar-e-Taiba hub that has produced notorious terrorists like Ajmal Kasab and David Headley.Each location was meticulously analysed—its layout, construction, and surrounding terrain—to determine the most effective way to neutralise it. Surveillance drones provided confirmation footage, and India ensured it had clear evidence of hitting its intended targets.Air Marshal A.K.
