Indian Army's Operation Sindoor Triggers Panic Among Pakistani Forces
  • Indian Army’s recent precision strikes targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
  • Intercepted communications reveal officers abandoning posts; a commander of Pakistan’s 75th Infantry Brigade near LoC refused to return to duty.
  • 75th Infantry Brigade near Muzaffarabad was a primary target; multiple terror camps destroyed (Sawai Nala, Syedna Bilal Camp).
The Indian Army’s recent precision strikes under Operation Sindoor have caused significant disruption and panic within Pakistani military ranks, as intercepted communications reveal instances of officers abandoning their posts amid the offensive.
Sources from the Indian Army disclosed that communications intercepted during the operation showed a commander of Pakistan’s 75th Infantry Brigade, positioned near the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), refusing to return to duty. When junior officers reached out about reopening their office, the commander reportedly responded, “The office will open later, save your lives first”.
The 75th Infantry Brigade, based near Muzaffarabad, was among the primary targets of the Indian Army’s retaliatory strikes against terror infrastructure across the border. The operation destroyed multiple camps, including those in the Sawai Nala area and Syedna Bilal Camp, eliminating over 100 terrorists and dismantling two major terrorist launch pads.
In another intercepted conversation shared by the Indian Army with IANS, junior Pakistani officers expressed their concerns, saying, “Our commander sahab escaped with great difficulty. He’s offering namaz in a mosque. He’s sent his men here and said he will return only when things calm down”. These communications underline the fear and disarray within Pakistani forces.
The operation also resulted in casualties on the Pakistani side. One intercept confirmed the death of Captain Hasnain Shah of the 16th Baloch Regiment in the Haji Peer sector. His body was reportedly transported to Abbottabad by Pakistan’s 6th Brigade. Indian officials estimate that at least 64 Pakistani soldiers were killed, and over 96 wounded in the strikes.
The Indian Army emphasized that Operation Sindoor specifically targeted terror hubs and infrastructure sheltering militants, deliberately avoiding civilian or non-military targets. The operation was launched in response to the brutal killing of 26 Indian tourists in Pahalgam on April 22 by Pakistan-backed terrorists.
Following the strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK, Pakistan retaliated by shelling both military and civilian areas on the Indian side of the LoC, prompting further Indian action to neutralize Pakistani military posts involved in cross-border aggression.
