Operation Sindoor: 'Hope It Ends Very Quickly', Says Trump As India Strikes Terror Infrastructure In Pakistan, PoJK

United States President Donald Trump has reacted to India's military strike on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu And Kashmir.

“It's a shame, we just heard about it just as we were walking in the doors of the Oval. I guess people knew something was going to happen based on a little bit of the past," Trump said.

"They've been fighting for a long time. They've been fighting for many, many decades and centuries, actually, if you really think about it,” Trump said in response to a question about India's military action on terror infra in Pakistan.

"I hope it ends very quickly," Trump added.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that he was "monitoring the situation" closely.

"I am monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan closely. I echo @POTUS's comments earlier today that this hopefully ends quickly and will continue to engage both Indian and Pakistani leadership towards a peaceful resolution," he said in a post on X.

In an unprecedented move, India carried out a series of precision missile strikes early Wednesday (7 May) across key locations in Pakistan and PoJK, including the long-controversial headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Bahawalpur.

The strike on the JeM compound — centered around the sprawling Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah complex — has reportedly flattened the terror outfit’s primary operational base.

The compound had recently undergone a major expansion, doubling to over 18 acres, with new buildings, guard posts, and facilities believed to support recruitment and training activities.

Satellite imagery and intelligence reports confirmed continued JeM activity at the site, including a public event in February 2025 addressed by Talha al-Saif, brother of JeM founder Masood Azhar.

The strike comes in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, in which 26 tourists were killed by terrorists.

India has struck nine targets across Pakistan, the government said in a statement.
