Meanwhile, in a massive development, the IAF struck at 6 JeM terror camps in multiple locations of Pakistan, killing over 245 terrorists in the region, only 12 days after the Pulwama terror attack on February 14 in which 40 CRPF jawans were martyred in a suicide bombing led by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad. 

In the wee hours of Tuesday, 12 Mirage 2000 jets of the IAF crossed the LoC and bombed the terror camp of the JeM in Balakot and Muzaffarabad.

Futhermore, the Indian Army on Tuesday night gave Pakistan a befitting response for LoC-wide ceasefire violations, destroying five Pakistani posts and inflicting a number of casualties to the Pak Army. Five soldiers of the Indian Army were injured in the Pak firing, of which two have been evacuated to the Military Hospital.
