As Indian armed forces targeted terrorist camps in Pakistan and PoK early Wednesday, India’s retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack was at the heart of the global media coverage, including in the West.

While some foreign media outlets bought into Pakistan’s false narrative of shooting down the Indian fighter jets, which never crossed the Line of Control this time, unlike during the Balakot airstrikes, others reported the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.

Here are some of the headlines of the world media in their coverage of India’s strike against terror camps – 4 in Pakistan and 5 in PoK – including the Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters, under Operation Sindoor.
