26 Feb, NEW DELHI- An Indian air strike across the Kashmir ceasefire line early Tuesday “completely destroyed” a militant camp, a junior minister said.
“Air Force carried out aerial strike early morning today at terror camps across the LoC and completely destroyed it,” minister of state for agriculture, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, said in English on Twitter, referring to the Line of Control that divides the Indian- and Pakistani-administered parts of Kashmir.
Shekhawat’s comments, the first from the government on reports about a raid in Pakistani-controlled territory, come nearly two weeks after a suicide bomb attack in Indian Kashmir in which 40 Indian paramilitaries were killed. India had vowed to strike back after the bombing, which was claimed by a Pakistan-based militant group.
