Following last week’s Pulwama terror attack, Indian warplanes dropped bombs on terrorist camps across the Line of Control (LoC).
According to Indian ministry, IAF jets have destroyed several terrorist training camps of Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar e Taiba and Jaish e Mohammed across the LoC in Kashmir.
Even the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot praised Indian Air Force via his twitter handle and somehow confirmed the action with hashtag #AirStrike.
Congratulations to #IndianAirForce pilots. I Salute your bravery.
The Nation is proud of you.
Jai Hind..🇮🇳#AirStrike— Ashok Gehlot (@ashokgehlot51) February 26, 2019
Indians are praising this strike with the agenda to destroy militants, who were preparing for suicide attacks.
Another confirmation came out when Union minister of state for agriculture, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat tweeted,”Air Force carried out aerial strike early morning today at terror camps across the LoC (Line of Control) and completely destroyed it.”

The truth will be revealed, but the two countries divided by a heavily militarised line of control claims Kashmir and for sure the rivalry over the region is becoming intense by time.
