India strikes terror camp across LoC, days after Pulwama

The Indian Air Force carried out strikes on a terror camp across the Line of Control in the early hours today, according to reports. The strike was carried out at around 3:30 am, according to reports.

12 Mirage 2000 jets dropped 1,000 kg bombs on the terror camp, completely destroying it, news agency ANI reported, quoting Air Force sources.

Sources told NDTV that the strikes were 100 per cent successful and went on exactly as planned.

The reported strike comes nearly two weeks after the terror attack in Pulwama in which over 40 soldiers of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were killed. 

Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed had claimed responsibility for the February 14 attack.

On September 29, 2016, the army had carried out surgical strikes on seven terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC) in retaliation to an attack on its base in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri earlier that month.

Soon after the Pulwama terror attack, India had appealed to the international community to back the naming of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a "UN designated terrorist".
