New satellite images have revealed the aftermath of India’s highly coordinated precision strikes under Operation Sindoor, showcasing extensive damage to major terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The strikes, carried out in the early hours of May 7, targeted terrorist training camps linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Hizbul Mujahideen, splitting key compounds in half and reportedly eliminating over 100 militants.

High-resolution imagery shared with NDTV confirms the destruction of two critical facilities: the Syedna Bilal Camp in Muzaffarabad and the Kotli Gulpur Camp near Rajouri. The Syedna Bilal camp, a hub for JeM activities, was a known site for weapons training, jungle warfare, and ordnance handling. Satellite comparisons reveal that interconnected structures measuring 81 by 92 feet were obliterated, likely by loitering drones, with no collateral damage to nearby areas. The camp was said to host high-profile JeM operatives and served as a launch pad for cross-border infiltration into India.

The second target, the Kotli Gulpur camp, believed to be a Lashkar-e-Taiba stronghold, was similarly struck with precision. Imagery shows a 110 by 30-foot structure split directly down the center, with adjacent buildings also severely damaged. The camp, which had resumed activity post-2019, housed dozens of militants, including suicide attackers, and played a key role in facilitating attacks in Rajouri and Poonch.

Military sources assert that these facilities were actively supported by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), which provided training, arms, and strategic movement across the Line of Control. According to army assessments, these camps were central to plotting attacks like the deadly Pahalgam strike in April that killed 26 civilians, marking the worst such incident in Kashmir since 2000.

Operation Sindoor struck nine sites in total—four in Pakistan and five in PoK—including Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Sialkot, as well as Rawalakot and Bhimber. The operation lasted just 25 minutes, from 1:05 AM to 1:30 AM, but the scale and accuracy of the strikes are being hailed as a turning point in India’s counter-terror strategy.

Military experts, including retired Lieutenant Generals Satish Dua and DS Hooda, emphasized the strategic significance of these attacks. They noted the psychological and operational blow to Pakistan-based terror networks, underlining that for the first time in decades, India has moved beyond restraint and shown it can neutralize threats deep inside hostile territory without escalating into broader conflict.

These latest strikes follow a long history of cross-border tensions but mark a new era of military precision and assertiveness, supported by satellite reconnaissance and drone warfare.
