Amid the period of preparation taken by India, an element of surprise was maintained when India unleashed multiple ‘Balakote type’ of military strikes ‘in one go’ on nine terror bases and training complexes across the LoC and Indo-Pak border in the early hours of May 7,

India’s actions came in response to a deadly terror attack two weeks ago in Kashmir, a territory that it has long fought over with Pakistan.

Pakistan, vowing retribution for what it called an “act of war,” said the strikes killed 26 people and injured 46 others.
