The NIA statement added that a senior official would contact the caller and arrange for the information/photo/video that he/she would have to share with the agency. Notably, several photos and videos are doing the rounds on social media following the terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians.

India replied to the Pahalgam attack with missile attacks at nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The operation was conducted jointly by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Terror camps in Sialkot, Muridke and Bahawalpur in Pakistan were targeted, while the strikes also focused on hideouts in Muzaffarabad, Kotli and Bhimber.
