Entire operation has been shot using Drones and body cameras on the special forces.
They will be released at an appropriate time.
No matter how hard I try to believe, every other report is so full of confusionsThe commandos who went across the Line of Control for surgical strikes fanned across 250 km of mountainous and forested territory to target seven terrorist "launch pads" or staging areas. They went up to three kilometres deep in Azad Kashmir after trekking for nearly 10 hours and the strikes they launched were simultaneous.The operation, carried out by para commandos who are trained for strikes on enemy territory, was cleared at about noon on Wednesday. After the Uri army camp was attacked by Pakistani terrorists on September 18, the government had asked military commanders to present options for the operation that took place on Wednesday night. Sources said the fact that it was a dark, nearly moonless night was a crucial factor.
Soon after the operation was cleared, helicopters flew out in pairs from various bases. Sortie after sortie in sectors like Uri were used to lure Pakistan into concentrating on those areas. The army also used heavy-calibre weapons in Uri to draw Pakistan's attention there - allowing the commandos to move through other areas to approach the targets, which had been placed under surveillance for a week.
Teams slipped across the Line of Control in the Poonch district and the Nowgam sector in Northern Kashmir. Commandos reached their targets at about 1:45 am.
In a simultaneous attack, they destroyed five terror launch pads and two facilities of the Pakistani army co-located with the launch pads.Simultaneously, the military was put on alert for places like the air forces bases in Jammu and Pathankot, where Pakistani terrorists carried out a deadly attack in January.
Though sources have refused to comment on how many terrorists were killed, they say that a terror launch pad usually has at least 10 terrorists waiting to infiltrate along with an equal number of guides and other assistants.
The weapons used by the para-commandos included the Swedish-designed Carl Gustav rocket launcher, a shoulder-fired rifle operated by a team of two soldiers each and powerful enough to take out tanks and hardened shelters.
The crucial "element of surprise" was complete, sources said, adding that Pakistan responded to the strike much after soldiers were back in in their bases.
The commandos had been instructed to "leave neither bodies nor buddies behind," said sources. They returned "before sunrise" and "with not one scratch", though a soldier had minor injuries after he stepped on a mine on the Indian side of the Line of Control.
An Indian solider, Chandu Babulal Chohan, now in Pakistani custody, was not part of the strikes and inadvertently crossed the border, the army said. Home Minister Rajnath Singh said "all attempts are being made" to ensure his release.

For instance just the below few:

>> We can assume they used guns with silencers, but I hope the Carl-Gustav Rocket launchers packed a bang loud enough to be heard/echoed multiple KMs around the impact site. And yet the Pakistani Army couldn't ascertain the attack site despite having a time window of 1-2 hours at least
.....though a soldier had minor injuries after he stepped on a mine on the Indian side of the Line of Control.
>> stepping on a mine gets you minor injuries? And they eluded mines on Pakistani sides only to step on one of their own. Remember it was a static mine not a floating one.
I fear coming days will make the story more murkier rather than any way clearer as is being hoped here in Pakistan
