The Air Indian Force had specifically targetted JeM camp in Balakot and eliminated several terrorists including fidayeen who were undergoing training there.

In the wee hours of Tuesday, the Indian Air Force carried out a “non-military, preemptive action” targetting the “biggest training camp” of the terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad in Balakot. The air strike comes days after the Pulwana terror attack, where a suicide bomber rammed his vehicle laden with explosives into a CRPF bus, killing 40 CRPF soldiers. JeM had claimed responsibility for the attack.
