NEW DELHI: The air strike by Indian Air Force on Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camp in Pakistan's Balakot killed 300 terrorists, reported Reuters quoting a senior government source.
The strikes on a training camp run by the Pakistani-based terror group have dramatically escalated tensions between the two neighbours.
In a media briefing today, foreign secretary Vijay Gokhale confirmed that Indian Air Force conducted a major preemptive strike on Jaish-e-Mohammed's biggest camp early Tuesday, killing a large number of terrorists and trainers.
He said credible intelligence was received that the JeM was planning to carry out other suicide attacks in India after the Pulwama bombing on a CRPF convoy 12 days ago that killed 40 jawans.
