India carried out air strikes on terror camps across the Line of Control at around 3.30 am Tuesday, according to reports. There were 12 Mirage 2000 fighter jets that of the Indian Air Force that dropped 1,000 kg bombs on terror camps of the Jaish-e-Mohammed, according to some news reports.
According to an NDTV report, which quoted sources, the strikes were “100 per cent successful”. All defence systems along the international border and the Line Of Control have been put on alert, it was also reported.
High level meetings are on in the capital and official statement from the government is awaited.
The air strike follows two weeks after the terror attack in Kashmir’s Pulwama – on February 14 – in which over 40 jawans of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were killed when a suicide bomber of the Jaish-e-Mohammed exploded a car loaded with bombs next to a convoy of the Indian paramilitary force. Later, the group claimed responsibility of the attack.
