Operation Sindoor: Near about 100 millitants killed

In Operation Sindoor, the Indian strikes targeted multiple locations in Pakistan and Pakistani-administered Kashmir, including Kotli, Bahawalpur, Muridke, Bagh, and Muzaffarabad. While specific post-strike details about these areas are not fully outlined in available reports, it can be reasonably inferred that they experienced significant military action. Given the nature of such operations, there was likely much damage to infrastructure and disruption in the targeted regions. Pakistani officials have reported civilian casualties, including deaths and injuries, as well as damage to civilian areas, indicating that the strikes had a substantial impact on these locations.

Number of Militants Killed

Reports on the number of militants killed in the strikes vary widely and lack independent verification:

• Indian Claims: Sources cited on X suggest that India claimed over 100 terrorists were killed across nine targeted sites. However, this information is unverified and should be approached with caution due to the potential for exaggeration or lack of substantiation.
• Pakistani Reports: Pakistani officials have focused on reporting civilian casualties rather than providing specific figures for militant deaths, leaving the exact toll unclear.
  Without corroborated data from neutral sources, the precise number of militants killed remains uncertain, and conflicting narratives persist between the two nations.

Reactions of International Leaders

The strikes prompted varied responses from global leaders and organizations, reflecting concern over escalation between India and Pakistan, both nuclear-armed states:

• United States: President Donald Trump expressed optimism that India and Pakistan would resolve their differences, indicating a preference for diplomatic resolution.
• Iran: Foreign Minister Syed Abbas Araghchi offered mediation to reduce tensions, positioning Iran as a potential facilitator of dialogue.
• United Nations: The UN Secretary-General’s spokesperson voiced concern over the military actions and urged both countries to exercise maximum restraint, highlighting the international community’s apprehension about further conflict.

These reactions emphasised on a collective call for de-escalation and a peaceful resolution to the tensions sparked by the strikes.
