News Topical, Digital Desk : India carried out air strikes on several terrorist bases in Muridke, Punjab in Pakistan. Muridke in Punjab is the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba. It is known as Pakistan's "terror nursery". Hafiz Saeed-led terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba is believed to be behind the April 22 attack in Baisaran near Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir.

 

Many henchmen of terrorist Masood injured

 

At the same time, many of terrorist Masood's henchmen have been injured in India's air strike. Pictures of the air strike have started coming from Pakistan. Here it can be clearly seen that there is chaos in Pakistan's hospitals.

 

Pakistan's Defence Minister's Jackal Threat

 

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif also issued a threat that Pakistan will respond with full force. Asif told Geo News, "We will respond with full force.

 

Army spokesman Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said the missiles fired by India targeted Kotli and Muzaffarabad in Jammu and Kashmir and Bahawalpur in Punjab province. Three Pakistanis were killed and 12 injured in the missile attacks.

 

Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters in Muridke

 

The headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its affiliate Jamaat-ud-Dawa in Muridke is spread over about 200 acres and houses terror training camps as well as other infrastructure. Muridke is a major commercial centre and is about 40 km from Lahore.

 

The Indian attacks also targeted Bahawalpur in Pakistan's Punjab and Kotli and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The selection of Bahawalpur is also significant because it is the base of Jaish-e-Mohammed, the terror group whose chief Masood Azhar masterminded the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai in 2008.
