AKIPRESS.COM - India's External Affairs Ministry said at a briefing on Wednesday that its military strikes in Pakistan were targeting Lashkar-e-Tayyiba "terrorist infrastructure" after Pakistan failed to take action against the Pakistan-based group behind the massacre of tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir last month, CNN reported.

The operation, dubbed Operation Sindoor, lasted 25 minutes from 1:05 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. local time, Colonel Sophia Qureshi told a news conference.

The strikes were India's longest-range strikes into Pakistani territory since the 1971 war.

At the briefing, officials showed footage of what they said were strikes on targets in Pakistan. They showed a map showing the location of what they said were several Lashkar-e-Tayyiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) training camps in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Pakistan's Punjab province.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has again blamed Pakistan for the April attack on civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir and accused Islamabad of supporting "terrorism" in the disputed region.

"Despite the passage of two weeks since the attacks, Pakistan has taken no obvious steps to take action against the terrorist infrastructure in its territory or areas under its control," Misri said.

Misri said the attack was aimed at fomenting communal strife in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of India. By the time New Delhi launched Operation Sindoor against Pakistan, Indian intelligence had credible information that more attacks were being planned in the country, he said.

The targets were chosen based on "intelligence," he said.

Qureshi said no military targets were hit during the operation and there were no reports of civilian casualties in Pakistan.
