The claim that India said Operation Sindoor strikes destroyed training camps at Muzaffarabad and other locations in Pakistani-administered Kashmir on 26 April 2025 is not directly corroborated by the provided sources. The sources discuss Operation Sindoor in the context of the Pahalgam attack and subsequent events, but none explicitly quote an Indian official stating that training camps were destroyed at those locations on that date. The Free Press Journal article mentions targets in Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Bhimber, and other places, but it is an opinion piece from 2026, not a contemporary report. Global Voices mentions the operation but focuses on media failures. Other sources cover the Indus Waters Treaty arbitration, not the strikes. Given the lack of direct evidence and the reliance on a single opinion piece, the claim is disputed.

On 26 April 2025, India launched Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack. The operation reportedly targeted multiple locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, including Muzaffarabad, Kotli, and Bhimber. However, the provided sources do not confirm that India officially stated that training camps were destroyed at these locations on that date. The Free Press Journal article from August 2026 mentions these targets but is an opinion piece, while other sources focus on the subsequent Indus Waters Treaty dispute. The exact details of the strikes and India's official statements remain unclear.
