These nine sites were selected out of 21 identified, and acted as training centres, weapon storages and control centres for JeM and LeT terrorists. The strikes on May 7 killed at least 100 terrorists, according to the government, and five top terror leaders.

There are 10 active terrorist and insurgent groups in Jammu and Kashmir, according to the South Asia Terrorism Portal.

Drones were spotted across several states, including Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Haryana, amid widespread blackout orders.

Initial reports indicated that Pakistan deployed between 300 and 400 drones to target Indian sites. These drones were identified as Asisguard Songar models from Turkey. The drones were primarily used to test Indian air defence capabilities and gather intelligence. In response, Indian forces carried out strikes on four Pakistani air defence systems.
