The Indian Air Force (IAF) identified nine targets in Pakistan after a careful deliberation under Operation Sindoor, and launched strikes, Air Marshal AK Bharti.
India did not target Pakistani military installations or civilians, he said.
Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) from the Army, Air Force and Navy gave a day-by-day account of how Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7 after the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 Indian civilians on April 22, panned out.
What Rajnath Singh said
Earlier in the day, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said Indian armed forces not only struck Pakistani military bases near the border but their might was even felt in Rawalpindi where the headquarters of the Pakistani Army is located. This came a day after India agreed to a conditional ceasefire with Pakistan, which the latter violated later in the evening.
Singh’s comment came as several media reports suggested that India may have used, for the first time ever, its mighty supersonic BrahMos missile on Pakistan. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister added fuel to the speculation by saying at an event that people had “seen a glimpse of the valour of the BrahMos missile during Operation Sindoor”. “And if the glimpse was not visible, then ask Pakistanis about the strength of the missile,” he added.
On Sunday, India’s border with Pakistan along Jammu and Kashmir bore a semblance of normalcy as no cross-border shelling, sound of aircraft, missiles, or drones flying overhead were reported on Saturday night through Sunday morning.
Pak violates ceasefire deal
Pakistan on Saturday night violated the bilateral understanding reached in the afternoon to immediately stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea.
This came hours after India announced the understanding following four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes that brought the two countries teetering on the edge of full-scale war.

Borders remain calm overnight across Jammu; no drone activity reported from anywhere
No overnight cross-border shelling or drone activity was reported from anywhere across the Jammu region, officials said on Sunday, as guns fell silent after India and Pakistan reached an understanding to stop all firing and military action.
An uneasy calm prevailed on the borders, especially along the Line of Control (LoC) in the worst-hit twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri, throughout the night, the officials said.
They said no ceasefire violation or drone activity was reported from anywhere, bringing relief to the people who woke up in a peaceful atmosphere and resumed normal activities this morning.
As many as 27 persons, including five security personnel, were killed and scores of others injured in intense shelling and drone attacks from Pakistan since May 7 after Indian armed forces targeted terror infrastructure in the neighbouring country in retaliation to April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that had left 26 persons, mostly tourists, dead.
On May 10, India and Pakistan reached an understanding to stop all firing and military action on land, air and sea with immediate effect after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
Series of blasts had also rocked Jammu city and other major towns, including areas close to the International Border, in the past three days.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang speaks to NSA Doval, calls for lasting ceasefire with Pak
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke to India's National Security Advisory (NSA) Ajit Doval and expressed hope that New Delhi and Islamabad would address their differences through dialogue and achieve a lasting ceasefire.
During their conversation, Doval told Wang that war was not India's choice but India needed to take counter-terrorism action after the Pahalgam attack, state-run Xinhua news agency reported in separate dispatches.
Wang also condemned the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which had cross-border linkages and triggered the worst fighting between India and Pakistan in years.
In his talks with Doval, Wang expressed hope that India and Pakistan would remain calm and restrained, properly handle differences through dialogue and consultation, and avoid escalating the situation, according to Xinhua's reports.
Wang said China supports and expects India and Pakistan to achieve a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire through consultation, which is in the fundamental interest of the two countries and meets the common aspiration of the international community.
He said China condemns the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and opposes all forms of terrorism.
Noting that the world is undergoing both transformation and upheaval, Wang said peace and stability in Asia are hard-won and deserve to be cherished. India and Pakistan are neighbours that cannot be moved away and they are both neighbours of China, he said.
Doval told Wang that the Pahalgam attack resulted in serious casualties for the Indian side and that India needed to take counter-terrorism actions.
War is not the choice of the Indian side and is not in the interest of either side, Doval underlined, adding that both India and Pakistan will be committed to the ceasefire and look forward to restoring regional peace and stability as soon as possible, the reports said.
In his conversation with Dar, the reports stated, Wang said that as a neighbour of both Pakistan and India, China is concerned about the conflict between the two.
