The IAF hit camps at Muridke and Bahawalpur, while the Army struck the remaining locations

A week ahead of the anniversary of the strikes on Pakistan under Operation Sindoor, the Army has released a list of terror camps it targeted on May 7 last year.

The Army has identified seven locations and has begun sequentially posting satellite images showing damage at each site. The locations listed are Kotli Gulpur, Mehmoona Joya, Syedna Bilal, Bhimber, Swani Nala and Sarjal.

These were among the targets assigned to the Army by military headquarters, while the Indian Air Force (IAF) was tasked with two additional locations. The strikes were carried out around 1 am on May 7. Following the initial strikes, India and Pakistan were engaged in a military skirmish from May 7 to May 10.

The Army’s targets were located 40-60 km inside Pakistan, while the IAF struck deeper targets. The May 7 strikes involved some of the latest precision weapons in India’s arsenal, with specific buildings or clusters identified as targets.

The IAF hit camps at Muridke and Bahawalpur, while the Army struck the remaining locations. The Army used the US-made M777 howitzer to fire Excalibur artillery shell rounds — precision-guided munitions capable of hitting targets up to 40 km away with high accuracy.

The Army also deployed loitering munitions, commonly referred to as “kamikaze drones”, which can hover over an area before striking designated targets. Both imported and indigenous systems were used, sources said.

Following the skirmish with Pakistan, India has replenished its stock of Excalibur rounds. New Delhi procured 216 Excalibur projectiles under a $47.1 million deal approved by the US.
