However the Pakistan confirmed that two of its soldiers were killed in what they say was cross-border firing by Indian troops. In the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday, the Indian Army claimed that it had conducted surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the Line of Control.

Eleven days after a terror attack killed 18 soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir, India carried out “surgical strikes” on terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control, inflicting massive casualties and dramatically heightening tensions in the region. “During these counter-terrorist operations, significant casualties have been caused to the terrorists and those who support them,” Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen Ranbir Singh told media.

Hours after New Delhi announced the “surgical strike”, Home Minister Rajnath Singh briefed opposition leaders. Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar separately met diplomats from 22 countries over the Indian operation. A high alert was sounded on Thursday along the Pakistan border in Punjab and Gujarat. Army columns moved towards the Punjab border while villagers in a 10-km border belt in the state were told to move to safer areas. In Gujarat, fishermen were told not to venture into the sea.
