ARMY
CONDUCTS SURGICAL STRIKES ON TERROR CAMPS ACROSS LOC
India conducted surgical strikes on terror launch pads last night
across the Line of Control (LoC) and inflicted significant casualties and heavy
damages.
The announcement of the sudden action by the army to target
terrorists was made by the DGMO Lt Gen Ranveer Singh at a hurriedly called news
conference during which External affairs ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup was
also present.
Gen Singh said India shared with Pak army details of the surgical
strikes which followed "very specific information" that terrorists
were positioning themselves in the launch pads along the LoC.
Details of duration of the surgical strikes or when it was conducted
or the place was not immediately given.
"Indian Army conducted surgical strikes last night on terror
launch pads across the Line of Control(LoC)," Singh said, adding India was
ready for any kind of contingency.
Gen Singh said heavy damages were caused to the terror camps and
there were significant casualties, adding that as of now there was no plan for
further operation.
Sources said that at least two terror camps were struck during the
surgical strikes.
"We can't allow terrorists to operate across the LoC. There
has been a surge in infiltration," Gen Singh said.
Gen Singh said the operation to neutralise terrorists has since
ceased and "we don't have any plans for any further operation as of
now" but added the armed forces will not allow terrorists to carry out any
attacks in J and K or any major Indian cities.
He said the strikes were launched after getting "very
specific and credible" intelligence input that the infiltrators were being
pushed to carry out attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and in some major Indian
cities.
