India’s Operation Sindoor Hit 7 More Targets, Says Pakistan
In a major revelation, Pakistan has officially acknowledged that India struck seven more targets during Operation Sindoor than were initially disclosed. The strikes, carried out between May 7 and May 10, 2025, were previously thought to have focused on known terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. However, newly surfaced details now suggest the operation was far broader in geographical and strategic scope.
According to Pakistan’s internal assessment, the additional Indian strikes hit sites across Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa provinces, including cities like Peshawar, Attock, Bahawalnagar, Gujrat, Jhang, Chhor, and Hyderabad. These locations were not mentioned in any of the briefings issued by Indian authorities following the operation.
Deeper Strategic Targets Revealed
The latest disclosures reveal that India’s retaliation was not just a symbolic show of force but a calibrated and deeply penetrative military response.
Attock, one of the targeted locations, houses the National Defence Complex, believed to be involved in missile launcher manufacturing. Bahawalnagar and Gujrat are both home to army cantonments—Gujrat being close to the expansive Kharian base.
Jhang is in close proximity to the Rafiqui airbase and Shorkot cantonment. Chhor in Sindh hosts Pakistan’s Desert Warfare School, and Hyderabad has a significant army presence. The selection of these targets suggests that India focused on Pakistan’s military logistics and strategic depth rather than just terrorist hideouts.
Broader Implications and Pakistan’s Response
This expanded list of strike locations helps explain why Pakistan sought a ceasefire swiftly on May 10, suggesting that the scale and precision of India’s strikes may have had a stronger deterrent effect than acknowledged earlier.
The official admission also underscores the sophistication of India’s drone and missile capabilities, which reportedly enabled targeted precision strikes across vast distances without causing civilian casualties.
Pakistan’s public release of these details could be aimed at preparing its domestic audience for future military escalations or justifying internal counter-military deployments.
As the region absorbs the full impact of Operation Sindoor, the global community continues to monitor the situation for signs of further escalation or diplomatic overtures. One thing is now clear—India’s message was louder, longer-reaching, and strategically sharper than previously known.
