India carried out these mock drills in the wake of tensions with Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists on April 22. India retaliated with strong missile attacks on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in reply to the ghastly terror attack in Pahalgam. India conducted strikes at nine camps in the wee hours on Wednesday, that targeted the terrorist camps. 

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