The Indian Air Force carried out air strikes on militant camps across the Line of Control (LoC) early Tuesday morning, several reports stated quoting IAF sources.
The targets, reports state, were Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist camps in Balakot, Chakothi and Muzaffarabad. While Balakot is located in Pakistan’s Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, Chakothi and Muzaffarabad are located in Pakistan-administrated -Kashmir.
Spokesperson Pakistan Armed Forces Major General Asif Ghafoor also confirmed on Twitter that IAF aircraft had crossed the LoC. “Indian Air Force violated Line of Control. Pakistan Air Force immediately scrambled. Indian aircrafts gone back,” he stated in a tweet.
“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,” he added in another tweet. He, however, has claimed that there have been no casualties.
