On February 26, Indian Air Force carried out an airstrike on a “terror camp” located across the Line of Control (LoC) separating the Indian- and Pakistani-controlled parts of the disputed Jammu and Kashmir region and completely destroyed the facility, Indian Minister of State for Agriculture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said.
“Air Force carried out aerial strike early morning today at terror camps across the LoC and Completely destroyed it,” Shekhawat stressed.
In a further comment, the Indian Foreign Ministry claimed that the airstrike was carried out due to Pakistan’s inability to take measures to destroy terrorist infrastructure.
“India has been repeatedly urging Pakistan to take action against the JeM to prevent jihadis from being trained and armed inside Pakistan,” the foreign ministry said. “Credible intelligence was received that JeM was attempting another suicide terror attack in various parts of the country, and the fidayeen jihadis were being trained for this purpose. In the face of imminent danger, a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary.”
The Pakistani Armed Forces satted that the Indian airstrike did not result in any casualties or damage. Pakistani military spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor said that the Indian jets had been chased away by Pakistani interceptors. According to him the strike took place near Balakot, a town in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan. It is located about 50km from the LOC in the region of Kashmir.
Indian aircrafts’ intrusion across LOC in Muzafarabad Sector within AJ&K was 3-4 miles.Under forced hasty withdrawal aircrafts released payload which had free fall in open area. No infrastructure got hit, no casualties. Technical details and other important information to follow.

The Pakistani foreign minister said his country is prepared to respond to any hostile actions by India. The prime minister has called an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the incident.
The situation is developing.
Not seen any evidence of the Pakistan Air Force intercepting U.S. armed drones violating their own air space ever since official statements were made, quite sometime ago.
There is no evidence of any bombing raid. Both Indians and Pakis are the same, liars and exaggerators. In this internet day and age there would have been plenty of videos if there had been a real “air strike”. This is laughable comedy. The Pakis need to be bombed for being a Wahhabi terrorist haven though.
We indians are not liars but our soldiers are valiant fighters. 350 terrorists were vapourised in yesterday’s air raids. But russians are not only liars but also cowards. Turkey shot down your jet. Israel shot down ur plane and killed ur 15 soldiers.USAF bombed and killed 450 Russian contract soldiers. How did ur military retaliate against these attacks? UR MILITARY COWARDS RAN AWAY.
All you are good at seems to be regurgitating pro israeli propaganda.
Are you even Indian??
I doubt it. Most Indians are grateful to Russia’s constant help when India was facing hard times.
we just can wish these war mongering lunatics bite the dust sooner.
Russia saved their miserable dothead arse in 1971, when the US would have bombed the street crappers over the Bangladesh war. Russia has been giving the Indian dotheads weapons at very low prices and the idiots have crashed over 250 MIGS and Sukhois even the SU-30 at record rates. Indians are pathological liars, cheats and backstabbers.
These Indian dotheads are all devious liars and no wonder every nation from Persians to Indians have ruled the filthy street crapping arseholes. They are telling fibs as there is no evidence to back up their laughable claims of any airstrike. The Pakis are as inept and should have deployed SAM systems on the border which is barely 50 milles from the so-called strike site.Both are pathetic liars and all this nonsense is for domestic consumption as the apex streetshitter Modi is facing a tough election. The Paki Zionist slave Imran Khan is just a stooge and can not even lift a finger without approval from his Jew masters. The Paki military is too cowardly to do anything anyway, but kill its own people. These South Asian beggar morons are all liars and cheats. If there had been an “airstrike” there would be videos all over the internet. Who are these liars kidding?
better do something about your worsening river pollution problems in your country, if you are an Indian.
Over a BILLION Indians have no access to toilets or clean waters. There are dead people floating down the Ganges where these filthy animals crap and bathe.
We have lot more problems than just pollution, billion people in abject poverty and no sanitation. Highest birthrate in the world that has already passed China in teeming millions with no future. India needs an independent sane government to take care of its starving people and not wasting precious resources on weapons and war.
You dumbass dhoti clad dothead street shitter. No wonder you pony headed greasy haired head nodding shitheads can’t even build toilets for your starving people. Liar dothead, the Mirage 2000 has an excellent real time thermal camera operated targeting system that is called he PDLCT (for Pod de désignation laser caméra thermique, “thermic camera-mounted laser designation pod”) and can send any strike images instantly. If your flying shithole airforce would have conducted a airstrike then where are the videos? YOU STREET SHITTERS are all liars.
We have no choice but to defecate in the streets as our corrupt caste system government does not provide us with toilets or water. Please help us.
You cowardy Russian liar. Ur Russian military hide inside toilets when enemies attack ur country. Then how could ur military help india during war.what use is of ur weapon junks which can shoot down own jets and own people
Go shit in the street filthy dothead :)
Yes, we will protect you Indians https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/787ca9a5a71af41c9c658b3873869d77015f9a2a7f25a9194ada9838b18f4720.jpg
Not very believable as both are liars, there are no Indian real videos of the so-called strike. By now there would have been satellite imagery posted all over the internet. Both of these begging bowls are playing for domestic audience with laughable claims.
again for all smart asses……Pakistan is british creation..just as Australia or USA…..
who is current Pakistan prime Minister KHAN!!!!!
KHAN is married to GOLDSMITH!!!! Khasarian jew bankers Family……………were did KHAN go to School??? in London!!!! lol fake muslim!!! fake Nation!!!! and Pakistan gave Saudi Arabia between 4 and 8 nuclear bombs!!!! it was Saudi Arabia that bankrolled their nuclear program…..example Manhattan Project Costs 2.4 Billion us Dollars in 1945 Money!!!
That repulsive black dyed hair Imran Khan is indeed a Jew bitch and has been on MI6 payroll since birth. They arranged his sham marriage with the Goldsmith Jew whore, just like the Jordanian midget Husein’s marriage with British call girl Toni Gardner whose bastard spawn is now the new puppet king..
And the wife is running Pakistan from London or what :)
It is all a propaganda war as foreign media has refuted all this nonsense. You should also relax and pray to Baghvan Gita. Hari Krishna, Hari Rama. Namaste.
Several reporters, including an Associated Press journalist, trudged
up the Kangaran Nallah hill to the site of Tuesday’s bombing near the
town of Balakot, close to the border with Pakistan’s sector of Kashmir.
They saw several large craters, a few upended trees and villagers
wondering why they had been targeted.
“There are only mud-brickhomes here. There is no madrassas. There isn’t even a concrete house,”said 55-year-old Noor Shah who lived about a half-kilometer (a third of a mile) from the site.
When the bombs struck, Shah said residents of his village of Jabba stayed indoors. It wasn’t until morning when “we saw soldiers and learned from them that Indian planes dropped bombs in
our village,” he said.
Two of the dried mud structures were damaged in the explosions but no one was hurt, said Tahir Khan, 45, ofthe same village. He added that his frightened children refused to let him leave their side to go to work.
“No one has been killed, noone has been seriously hurt. But we want to know, what have we done that we were attacked?” asked Khan.
Pakistan’s military spokesman,Maj. Gen Asif Ghafoor, said Indian planes crossed into the Muzafarabad sector of Pakistani-controlled Kashmir. He said Pakistan scrambled its warplanes and the Indian jets released their payload “in haste” near
Balakot
So who created You as an accident.
Lord Rama.
next time bomb pakistan officially…thats what they deserve ..they are roaches polluting earth…GO INDIA!
Moron

Again, very detailed report.
Very illustrative link. Thanks.
Indiatoday is a extremist RSS propaganda fake media and not credible. As Mr. Trump a true friend of extreme racists would say FAKE NEWS.
Beggar #1, Pakistan has always been the useful idiots of American (CIA/DOD) foreign policy. From the U2 flights to the ISI to recent renta-jihadi they have always come through for the deep state for the past sixty years. However, they are a low level lackey. They want a seat at the dinner table but will never get it.
Beggar #2, India is much smarter and discarded its Soviet/Russian connections for the warm embrace of Israel and American/British bankers. India’s Zionist credentials/connections run from Bangalore to Silicon Valley to Langley, the home of the CIA. The BJP make Likud look like choir boys. The common hatred of all things Islamic has bound them together, with India pulling hard on Israel’s dick.
This recent episode is one for the team, where both beggars fight to distract the world from Venezuela and Mr. Trump’s so called ultimate peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, which Israeli, AIPAC, and the CIA do not want.
If the war does escalate, the only people who will die are the poorest who have no say in the matter or the politics.
I was thinking the same.
Its always the poor that eats the most shit.
the wolves do the warring, the sheeps do the dying.
There are corrupt governments in both of our impoverished nations who only cater to the interests of the rich, the military industrial complex and foreign aid donors. These illusionary airstrikes are for internal politics in both India and Pakistan who can ill-afford a war. Namaste.
1.4 BILLION Indians have no toilets or access to potable water, the Paki shithole is even worse. These beggars spend billions on western weapons while their illiterate people starve. They are both liars and exaggerators. In this day and age no “airstrike” can remain hidden. If there had been a real airstrike we would have videos all over the place. The poor Pakis and foreign journalists are showing some poor people wandering around clad in blankets in a forest that looks like some trees have been hit from a projectile. No signs of any damage or casualties. What pathetic liars, BOTH! They both need to nuked for just being stupid :) and for population control.
Both these beggar failed states are shitholes and liars.
Is there a border wall between these two countries? Seems like a good investment.
And these to fools have enough nukes to kill us all.
dont worry they have just about enough to kill each other now all of us.
I seriously doubt that although India and Pakistan could probably destroy
enough of each other’s infrastructure to cause both economies to collapse.
Most are fakes and will not work. We have not even mastered the art of making toilets yet.
RT News article on Pakistan Terror finanzing…..
Following the money
The United States and its allies have had a curious relationship with Pakistan and terrorism for years, as anyone who knows their history will know. What they might not remember, however, is that in February 2007, then vice president, Dick Cheney, made a trip to Pakistan to meet with President General Pervez Musharraf. According to PBS, the secret US-backed campaign against Iran by the terror group known as Jundullah was high on Cheney’s agenda.
A few months later, ABC News reported that Jundallah, which is “responsible for a series of deadly guerrilla raids inside Iran has been secretly encouraged and advised by American officials since 2005.”
The report explains that “US relationship with Jundullah is arranged so that the US provides no funding to the group, which would require an official presidential order or ‘finding’ as well as congressional oversight.” Not to mention that former Pakistani army chief, retired General Mirza Aslam Baig, further explained that “the U.S. supports the Jundullah terrorist group and uses it to destabilize Iran.”

‘Mastermind’ of Kashmir suicide car bomb attack killed after 12-hour siege
Okay, so the US supported the Jundullah group in Pakistan against Iran, but what does that have to do with the current situation at hand? Well, it appears that JeM and other terrorist organisations in Pakistan receive direct support from key US allies, including and especially Saudi Arabia.
For example, an action request cable archived by Wikileaks, documenting the illicit finance activities in Afghanistan and Pakistan, stated that “it has been an ongoing challenge to persuade Saudi officials to treat terrorist financing emanating from Saudi Arabia as a strategic priority.”
“Still,” the cable continues, “donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide.”
Not surprisingly, Saudi Arabia “remains a critical financial support base” for – wait for it – “Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, LeT [Lashkar-e-Taiba] and other terrorist groups.” The LeT is a Pakistan-based terrorist organisation which also has a strong focus on Jammu and Kashmir, where the recent terror attack took place (and India’s initial response). Both LeT and JeM have received overwhelming support from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) since the early 1990s. In fact, LeT became part of the United Jihad Council in 1993, an umbrella group for militant Islamists operating in Kashmir and in doing so, formed a direct alliance with JeM. As far as the US State Department is concerned, the two groups are almost all but completely synonymous.
The ISI itself had been a prime recipient of billions of US aid, particularly under the administration of George W. Bush. The Wikileaks cable clearly shows that the US was well aware elements within the ISI were maintaining ties to the LeT.
The cable also noted that Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE have provided support to LeT and other terrorist groups operating in the region as well. All of these countries are US allies.
Furthermore, a separate Wikileaks cable confirmed that Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been funnelling money not just to LeT but to JeM directly, stating that:
“Locals believed that charitable activities being carried out by Deobandi and Ahl-e-Hadith organizations, including Jamaat-ud-Dawa, the Al-Khidmat Foundation, and Jaish-e-Mohammed were further strengthening reliance on extremist groups and minimizing the importance of traditionally moderate Sufi religious leaders in these communities. Government and non-governmental sources claimed that financial support estimated at nearly 100 million USD annually was making its way to Deobandi and Ahl-e-Hadith clerics in the region from ‘missionary’ and ‘Islamic charitable’ organizations in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates ostensibly with the direct support of those governments.”
Saudi Arabia itself has been considered to be somewhat of a safe haven for jihadists targeting India, including and especially the LeT. An investigation also found that Saudi Arabia funnelled funds to anti-Indian terror groups through Hajj pilgrims, and the Diplomat lamented that JeM hunts for potential recruits among the 150,000 devout Indians visiting Mecca every year.

‘Danger & restraint’: Neither India nor Pakistan want to start nuclear war, former leaders insist
So, to summarise: the US has a long and documented history of backing anti-Iranian Sunni-based Pakistani terror groups. Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies have been funnelling financial support to the LeT, who has a direct alliance and operates in the same area as the JeM (who also receives direct funding from Saudi Arabia), which recently claimed responsibility for an attack which killed at least 40 Indian police personnel.
It’s not exactly rocket science. Call me a little bit suspicious, but perhaps this is why Saudi Arabia was quite open in its assurances to Islamabad that it need not go after JeM directly, even while the group’s leadership apparently continues to live comfortably inside Pakistan.
And what no one really seems to be talking about is the implications this wider geostrategic struggle has for the region. Saudi Arabia wants to win Pakistan over in a tug-of-war game in which Islamabad finds itself in the centre, and in doing so, is committing $10 billion to build an oil refinery in the Gwadar port project, which actually puts a major Saudi project on Iran’s border.
Most disturbing is the revelation that Saudi Arabia is also being rumoured to have nuclear weapons “on order” from Pakistan.
If it isn’t bad enough that India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons and are now potentially launching air strikes into each other’s territory, the idea that these apocalyptic weapons could one day end up in the hand of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the country currently launching a genocidal war in Yemen and backing known jihadists right across the wider region, all the whilst constantly threatening war with Tehran, is nothing short of suicidal.
According to Israeli media, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s (MBS) recent visit to Pakistan has essentially cemented Pakistan’s inclusion in anti-Iran Arab NATO. Will these countries rush to Pakistan’s aid as it is pummelled by Indian fighter jets? Or will diplomacy and cooler heads eventually prevail?
Thankfully, we can trust the media to ask these all-important questions, and not focus its entire energy on yet another regime-change operation in yet another oil rich country, right?
That sentence in the middle of the article….i spaced it out….. Pakistan giving nuclear bombs to the Saudis….
i wrote this already at southfront months ago , and weeks ago…and as usual got ridiculed here by them smart asses!!!!!!!
Folks u have Zero idea About the bigger Picture……… just check out Pakistans current prime Minister KHAN……who is he married to???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
GOLDSMITH… a khasarian jew whore……-from the Goldsmith Banking Family …so the muslim leading the Moslem Nation is married to a jew????? lolol
the truth…Pakistan is a fake created Nation ..created by the british Crown elite…just as the fake USA Nation..created by the british Crown elite just as Australia etc…. and ALL STILL FOLLOW ORDERS!!!!!
The Agenda..a one world Government, with Jerusalem as its capital, under satanic jewish Leadership.
only a few nations are left Fighting the british Crown elite with their khasarian jew Partners….
ps. for the wise asses and the bs discussion of Zionist versus jew……….. look it up yourself at israeli Government sites….. 98% of all so called jews on planet earth today are from khasarian origin……
another Little secret NAZI…… that word was never used in Germany or Austria…….but Comes from the british which states the partnership of the “stupid” Germans and the zionists khasars from 1915 to 1945
NAtionalZIonism national stands for hitlers Party, ZI for zionism….. it was the stupid Germans that helped them zionists kill the russian zsar and ist entire Family and ever since Control Russia…..but as the masters of double Crossing they are..thgey double crossed Germany after the last deal…which stated “help us create Israel….to create a state you first and foremost Need HUMAN BEIINGS…no european jew would even think About moving into a fucking desert area from wealthy europe…unless ofcourse u make life for them as misrabel as possible..what they did…..only to then..after the war…Change the equation….the HOLOCAUST..the biggest lie in human history…and ever since ….they got the western world by the balls…..and can happily fulfill the Agenda with their Partners, the british Crown elite!!!
This is not to surprising, there is an ongoing terror campaign going on by Kashimi separatists in India. These guys are quite likely using the lawless border region as a base area. To what degree Pakistan is complicit in this is up for debate, but I imagine that India will be quick to accuse their long time rival of supporting the separatists.
Of course who benefits most from this spat?
Yes, the anti-Eurasian integrationists. (i.e Washington/London)
Nothing is going to happen. The British own both Indian/Paki shitholes and created both the beggar failed states. The South Asians are just lairs and will keep on barking at each other without lifting a finger. Ever been to India? a million little dotheads just gather around to stare at an accident or a foreigner. They are just primitive filthy savages.
think of it this way – if pakistan and india nuke eachother,
NO MORE phone call scammers lol
Yeah, they should get it over already, pussies.
Modi is a corrupt politician playing for his fanatic RSS base and is endangering both India and Pakistan. This looks like a political stunt than anything real. No evidence of the strikes has been provided by India, Pakistan or the international media.
