Notorious nine: Why India hit them

India executed precision strikes on key terror infrastructure inside Pakistan, targeting Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Muhammed strongholds. The strikes hit training camps and operational headquarters, including Muridke and Bahawalpur, long protected by Pakistan's military-intelligence apparatus. These facilities served as hubs for training, indoctrination, and planning numerous terror attacks against India, including the Pulwama attack, before being neutralized.
