Indians celebrated on a tank following air strikes on Pakistan.

A group of locals gathered outside to mark Operation Sindoor, which saw missiles launched at suspected terrorist targets.

Footage shows residents standing on the decommissioned T-59 tank, chanting 'Long live India' and setting off firecrackers in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, on May 7.

The Indian government confirmed the launch of 'Operation Sindoor', targeting nine sites in Pakistan with at least 24 missiles fired at 1:30 am.

Pakistani officials reported that at least eight people were killed and more than 35 others injured in the strikes.

The missiles reportedly struck locations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and in the eastern Punjab province.

In response, Pakistan launched intense shelling across the border into northern India just hours later.

At least three people were reported dead and 10 others injured in the shelling, which struck multiple areas, including Bhimber Gali and Karnah in Jammu and Kashmir.

Authorities confirmed that the Pakistan military opened fire along both the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border, triggering panic in several border villages.

The strikes followed a terror attack in Kashmir on April 22, which resulted in 26 deaths. The Resistance Front (TRF), a shadow group of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack.

Intelligence sources suggest the assailants may have crossed over from Kishtwar via Kokernag to execute the planned strike.
