India Avenges Pulwama : IAF Mirage 2000 Jets Decimate Jaish Terror Camps, in Pakistan; Air Defence System Put on High Alert
Twelve days after the dastardly terror attack in Pulwama, several Indian Air Force fighter jets crossed the Line of Control on Tuesday morning and attacked terror camps in Balakot sector in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, completely destroying them.
“At 0330 hours on 26th February a group of Mirage 2000 Indian Fighter jets struck a major terrorist camp across the LoC and completely destroyed it,” IAF sources were quoted by ANI as saying.
Giving details about the operation, sources said that 12 Mirage 2000 jets took part in the operation that dropped 1000 Kg bombs on terror camps across LoC, completely destroying them.
The laser-guided bombs were dropped on the terror camps of Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camps in Balakot, Chakoti and Muzaffarabad, completely destroying them, said Army sources.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Army also admitted to the fact that the IAF warplanes crossed the Line of Control. It, however, said that the fighter jets released “payload in haste while escaping which fell near Balakot”
Pakistan Director-General Inter-Services Public Relations Major-General Asif Ghafoor took to Twitter to claim that the IAF “intruded from Muzaffarabad sector” and were forced to go back after Pakistan Air Force responded immediately.
“Indian Air Force violated Line of Control. Pakistan Air Force immediately scrambled. Indian aircrafts gone back. Details to follow,” Ghafoor tweeted.
Indian aircrafts intruded from Muzafarabad sector. Facing timely and effective response from Pakistan Air Force released payload in haste while escaping which fell near Balakot.
“Indian aircrafts intruded from Muzafarabad sector. Facing timely and effective response from Pakistan Air Force released payload in haste while escaping which fell near Balakot. No casualties or damage,” he added.
While New Delhi is yet to respond to Islamabad’s claims, reports quoted government sources saying that huge blast was heard in Balakot, where Jaish has set up terrorist camps.
The major strike comes barely two weeks after the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist carried out dastardly Pulwama terror attack, which claimed lives of 40 CRPF jawans.
Condemning the cowardly act, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that the sacrifice of jawans shall not go in vain.
Baffled over the mounting pressure from several countries to act against terrorism in wake of the Pulwama terror attack, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said that he will take action and start a probe if India provides evidence of Islamabad’s involvement.
Khan had also warned of “retaliation, without even thinking,” if any kind of military action is launched by India.
Recently, Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Bajwa had visited Pakistani troops deployed at the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir and instructed them to “be ready to face any eventuality,”
Bajwa had also visited the Headquarters Rawalpindi Corps on Monday, where he was updated on the operational situation and state of readiness along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), LoC and Working Boundary (WB).
He met with Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan at the Air Headquarters in Rawalpindi where the two chiefs “deliberated on operational environment including threat and response” and “expressed satisfaction on readiness, coordination and synergy,” according to Ghafoor.
The strike by the IAF is a reminder of the surgical strike, carried out by the Indian Army on September 29, 2016 across the Line of Control as a response to a terrorist attack on an Indian Army base in Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir earlier that month. Nineteen Indian soldiers died in the attack by Pakistan-backed terrorists.
