Pakistani Air Force jets attempted to cross the Line of Control into Indian territory on Wednesday (27 February) but were forced to turn back after meeting Indian Air Force’s combat air patrol (CAP), reports defence journalist Shiv Aroor.
This violation was reportedly attempted in the Rajouri sector of Jammu and Kashmir which was being patrolled by Indian Air Force jets since morning.
Three F-16 jets were reportedly part of the Pakistani squadron who were engaged by Sukhoi Su-30 CAP thereby pushing them back. They are said to have dropped weapons in four locations.
Some other reports though have claimed that the jets managed to crossed the Nowshera in Rajouri and even dropped a payload.
Following the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) strike on Jaish-e-Mohammed’s biggest terror camp in Pakistan’s Balakot, Pakistan carried out multiple ceasefire violations which resulted in the injuries to five Indian soldiers.
Reports have claimed that a team of 12 Mirage 2000 jets of the IAF dropped six bombs on the terror camp. This action has been hailed by many including former army chief General Bikram Singh who called it Surgical Strike 2.
Up to 25 top commanders of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) top commanders have been eliminated in the operation.
