 "India's surgical strike against Pakistan: Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Vivek Oberoi laud IAF operation")
Early on Tuesday, ANI report ed that the Indian Air Force carried out a surgical strike with 12 Mirage 2000 jets. It was an operation to drop 1,000-kilogram bombs on what were reportedly terrorist launchpads across the Line of Control. The operation has allegedly led to the “complete destruction” of the terrorist camp in Balakot sector of Pakistan.
