India hits Pakistan terror launchpads in surgical strikes along LOC

India has carried out "surgical strikes" across the Line of Control in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir to prevent terrorists who were prepping to infiltrate and attack the Kashmir region and metros, the army said today.

There were no Indian casualties in the strikes whichtook place last night and were filmed. Sources said seven different terrorist camps were targeted upto two kilometres across the Line of Control or LoC and that "scores of terrorists were killed."

Lt General Ranbir Singh, the army's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), said the strikes  inflicted  "significant casualties" on the terrorists "and their supporters" and thatPakistan was informed by him this morning of the action which has concluded.

Pakistan has said India's announcement of the strike is "a lie" and that it lost two soldiers in unprovoked cross-border firing by India.

Premier Nawaz Sharif said he condemns "the unprovoked and naked aggression of Indian forces" and the Pakistani army warned that if Indian troops cross the border, it will strike back.

The strikes are being seen as the first major military action taken by India after terrorists from Pakistan crossed into an army camp in Uri in Kashmir earlier this month. 18 soldiers were killed in that attack, one which Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said would "not go unpunished."
