To avenge it, today's attack at the terrorist camps was carried out by 12 Mirage 2000 fighter jets which dropped 1,000 kg bombs on JeM's Balakot camp.

It was a non-military, pre-emptive strike, says Foreign Secretary
According to reports, today's casualties are estimated to be somewhere around 200-300. Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale told media, "There was very credible intelligence info that JeM (Jaish-e-Mohammed) was planning to carry out terror strikes across India, thereby making this strike absolutely necessary." He added, "It was a non-military, pre-emptive strike. India has decided to take action against any terror threat to it."
