IAF sources confirm attack on JeM camp
New Delhi: Indian Air Force (IAF) Mirage 2000 fighters crossed the Line of Control (LoC) early Tuesday morning and destroyed a JeM camp based in Pakistan. The Mirage fighters dropped 1000 kilogrammes bombs on the camps across the LoC at 3:30 am on February 26 and completely destroyed it, IAF sources said.
The IAF jets entered deep into Pakistan, according to the Pakistani military. The fighters reached Balakot, a town in Mansehra district in Pakistan’s Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa before Pakistani Air Force tried to intercept them.
Pakistani armed forces spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor claimed that IAF jets were intercepted by PAF near Balakot. The IAF fighters “released payload in haste while escaping which fell near Balakot”. He added that there were no casualties or damage to the Pakistani side.
The air strike comes 12 days after the dastardly suicide attack on a Central Reserve Police Force convoy in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama in which 40 security personnel were killed.
