The Indian Air Force (IAF) bombed and destroyed Jaish-e-Mohammed's (JeM) biggest training camp in Pakistan early Tuesday, killing a "very large number" of terrorists, trainers and senior commanders, officials said.
The air strike came in response to the February 14 Pulwama terror attack, which claimed the lives of over 40 Central Reserve Police Forec (CRPF) personnel.

A dozen Mirage 2000 Indian fighter jets dropped 1,000 kg bombs on terror camps across the Line of Control, the de facto border between the two countries in the disputed Kashmir region, news agency ANI said.
Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said credible intelligence was received that JeM was attempting another suicide terror attack in various parts of the country and fidayeen jihadis were being trained for this purpose, thus, the strike became "absolutely necessary". A very large number of JeM terrorists, trainers, senior commander and Jihadis were eliminated, he said.
Earlier, PM was briefed by Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on the operation. Hours later, Modi chaired a meeting of Cabinet Committee on Security which was attended by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Sitharaman.
Pakistan's National Security Committee (NSC), after a meeting chaired by PM Imran Khan today, said India has committed uncalled for aggression to which Pakistan shall respond at the time and place of its choosing.
PM Imran Khan asked armed forces and the people to remain "prepared for all eventualities."

"Then a third formation was picked in Muzaffarabad sector which was heavier...It was repulsed, but while going back they jettisoned their payload and four bombs fell in Jabba, near the town of Balakot, causing no casualties or damage," he said.
