The air strike was carried around 3:30 am, the sources said. Indian action came 12 days after Pakistan based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) carried out terror attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama in Kashmir, killing 40 personnel and injuring five others. The terror attack had led to nation-wide outrage and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had vowed to punish those behind the attack.
Members of Twitterati could not contain themselves from expressing their 'Josh' about this move initiated by IAF on Tuesday.
