MNA Editorial Desk: Indian airstrike in Pakistani territory killed 300 suspected militants, a senior Indian government source said on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
The strikes on a training camp run by a Pakistani-based militant group have dramatically escalated tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours, who have fought three wars against each other.
The Indian Air Force launched air strikes on terror camps and launch pads across the Line of Control in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir at 3.30am, India Today reports.
Sources in the Indian Air Force said 1,000 kg bombs were dropped on Jaish bases across the LoC by multiple jets, including the IAF’s Mirage 2000.
Earlier on Tuesday morning, Pakistan military spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor alleged that the IAF violated the Line of Control.
Ghafoor tweeted that that the Indian aircrafts intruded into Pakistan from the Muzafarabad sector and dropped payloads in Balakot sector. However, he claimed that no casualties and damages were reported in the attack.
