Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a high-level meeting on Tuesday, 26 February, after the Indian Air Force (IAF) carried out air strikes in Pakistan’s Balakot, and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir’s Chakothi and Muzaffarabad areas across the LoC at 3:30 am and dropped 1,000 kg bombs destroying the camps.
Congress President Rahul Gandhi tweeted “saluting” the Indian Air Force after reports suggested that 12 Mirage 2000 Indian Fighter jets struck the terror camps.
However, Pakistan has reportedly denied any damage caused to life or property.
Earlier, Pakistan Armed Forces spokesperson, Major General Asif Ghafoor, on Twitter claimed “Indian Air Force violated the Line of Control. Pakistan Air Force immediately scrambled. Indian aircraft gone back.”
The alleged violation by IAF comes days after the Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF jawans were martyred.
