The Indian Army's elite commandos crossed the Line of Control and hit militant launch pads in Azad Kashmir with “surgical strikes”, killing 38 jihadis and two of their handlers.
The move comes as an unprecedented retributive response to this month’s deadly attack on the Uri military base.
Sir G according to this and pic below your troops did not cross LoC !!!!!!!!!! Is that what media saying now??
This is what our ISPR said cross border or CROSS LoC attack ,
which faced Pakistani Patrolling and got hit by our side and bodies of your solders are there because the army left them while retreating and did not pick them up because so close to LoC(In direct lane of fire).
This is the first time India has publicly acknowledged such an attack in an indication of the Narendra Modi government’s muscular approach to dealing with terrorism and threats to its security.

The daring raid triggered a nationwide alert for retaliatory strikes by Pakistan even though the neighbouring country denied that Indian troops crossed the LoC, instead claiming that that just two of its soldiers were killed in intensive cross-border firing.
Analysts see the move as a massive departure from India’s previous policy of “strategic restraint”.
The dramatic strikes turned out to be a carefully planned and well-executed operation in which maximum damage was inflicted in a covert offensive action that lasted just four hours.

It started shortly after midnight and was over by 4am, before the break of dawn.
The retaliatory response came around 10 days after 18 Indian Army soldiers were killed in a pre-dawn raid by Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists carrying incendiary ammunition in Kashmir’s Uri town on September 18.
Sources said Pakistan were slow to respond before eventually launching a counter-offensive by opening heavy mortar and artillery fire which continued till 7am.
By that time, Indian army commandos had accomplished their task and returned safely.

Around 25 commandos split in small groups were flown close to LoC in army’s Dhruv helicopters and they sneaked across the fence to strike at the terrorists waiting to enter Jammu and Kashmir
The LoC was crossed at seven locations in four sectors in Azad Kashmir - Bhimber, Kel, Tatta Pani (Hotspring) and Leepa.
Around 25 commandos split in small groups were flown close to LoC in army’s Dhruv helicopters and they sneaked across the fence to strike at the terrorists waiting to enter Jammu and Kashmir.
Armed with M4 assault rifles, grenades, smoke bombs, Under-Barrel Grenade Launchers (UBGLs), night-vision devices and helmet cameras, the Indian commandos struck the targets with precision, highly placed military officials said.
The attack, which took place around three kilometers inside Azad Kashmir, caught the jihadis by surprise.

Sources said the entire operation was recorded on camera. The footage will be made available later, said officials.
The army’s response came days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a speech that many saw as a call for restraint even as the government went ahead with diplomatic means to isolate Pakistan.
Military intelligence officials had been keeping a sharp eye on the terror launch pads and militant movements across the LoC for almost a week, sources said.
A flurry of activity followed the strike, which was made public in the afternoon at an unprecedented briefing addressed by the Director General Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen Ranbir Singh.

“Based on receiving specific and credible inputs that some terrorist teams had positioned themselves at launch pads along the LoC to carry out infiltration and conduct terrorist strikes inside Jammu and Kashmir and in various metros in other states, the Indian army conducted surgical strikes at several of these launch pads to pre-empt infiltration by terrorists,” he said,
Singh said he had also spoken to his Pakistani counterpart and expressed concern over the infiltration attempt.
The announcement was made after Prime Minister Modi chaired a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) where the DGMO gave a detailed presentation of the operation.
Defence minister Manohar Parrikar, national security adviser Ajit Doval and army chief Dalbir Singh monitored the whole operation in a 'war room' in South Block.
The PM was kept up to date on all developments.

A nationwide alert was sounded as the government anticipated retaliation by Pakistani forces.
The border areas were vacated and the air force and navy were put on standby.
Even during the 1999 Kargil war India didn't cross the LoC. However, this time the government gave a clear mandate to the army to go across the border and attack.
The Indian Army maintained that the targets of the strikes were terrorists and asked the Pakistan army to cooperate.
The Pakistan foreign office summoned Indian high commissioner in Islamabad Gautam Bambawale and registered a protest against cross-border firing killing two Pakistani soldiers.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said in a statement: “Our intent for a peaceful neighborhood should not be mistaken as our weakness.
“Our valiant forces are fully capable of defending the territorial integrity of the country.”
India’s bold move has given new dimension to the tactical operations.
Sources said the idea was to make a statement and send a strong message that military strikes against India will no longer go unpunished.

This was a political stunt, and Indian citizens (non-Modi fans) are questioning the account themselves. The fact that the Indian Army and government has failed to come up with answers shows it was a political stunt by India to relieve some pressure off Modi. Otherwise, the evidence would have already been out there. Peace.
A Standard Operating Procedure(SOP) after an embarrassment of international order is plausible deniability. This is done to boost the country's morale. Expected Pakistani response.
When they can deny Abottabad operation by saying PAF scrambled F16 and downed Stealth USAF choppers, this deniability is nothing new.
DGMO Lt. Gen Ranbir Singh confirming this, verified by Cabinet ministers plus Prime Minister Modi . Started 12:30 am and ended around 3:30am last night . Unit that was involved was Para-Sf - the most elite special operations unit.
Pakistani journalist Wajahat Jahangir says that he feels that Pakistani Govt/Military is downplaying this incident to save embarrassment.
Its being wise to so release the info thats for public consumption and keep other details secret.
This is first but for sure not the last one, hence expecting detailed response from MOD would be lame.
Keep your eyes open and ears open and be open to informations without being bias to make filter out right details to make real sense. Else media cooked stories will serve you dog meat on name of beef.
I have exhausted myself repeating myself over the years. I don't like to criticize our own people over and over again. If you think India is taking the right steps, then good for you, I envy your optimism, I continue to be underwhelmed.
How did Indian army cross over 2 km into our territory when PAF and army were alert ?. If it was any other day pre - urhi I would have believed some part of your side about catching us offguard.
Not only did your army come 2 km inside they were there for 4 hours at 8 different locations without getting detected at the most heavily guarded border in the world? And to get back they had to use a helicopter. How did they manage that when PAF and our air defence systems were alert ?.
dude you dont just move mechanised infantry from bhawalpur punjab to border just for 2 soldiers, rest you are wise....
so you fired on our positions and martyred 2 of our jawans....and we paid back in kind
