According to sources, the chief ministers are learnt to have been briefed about the early morning strikes, conducted under ‘Operation Sindoor’.
Earlier in the wee hours of Wednesday, Indian forces struck terrorist bases in PoK and Pakistan. Nine terror camps used by groups like the Lashkar-e-Toiba and the Jaish-e-Mohammad to carry out attacks in India were destroyed in overnight aerial strikes in Pakistan and PoK.
The retaliatory action by Indian forces came two weeks after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 36 tourists were killed by terrorists.
