India strikes back in full force, just few hours post the air-strike which happened around 3:30 am on Tuesday. A Pakistani drone was shot down at Kutch border in Gujarat just before dawn at 6:30 am.
There was supposedly a few hours gap between the two attacks; the former happened in Balakot sector as terror camps were targeted and was soon followed by this shot down of the Pakistani drone which was spotted at Kutch border. Though, it not yet known whether the drone being shot down was the planned part of India air-strike, as per sources.
In the wee hours of the big day – 26th Feb- which happens to be precisely a month after Republic Day, 12 Mirage IAF fighter jets dropped 1000 kg bombs on the terror camp of major militant terrorist outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed, as per reports.
Reports said that terror launch pads at Balakot, Chakothi and Muzaffarabad across LOC were fully destroyed in the air strikes carried by Indian Air Force. Control rooms of Jaish were also ravaged during the air strike. IAF used laser-guided bombs for the same and the strike lasted for 21 minutes, as reported.
