This statement can be interpreted in a manner that India would not shy away from future preventive action against terror establishments in Pakistan if they pose a threat to India’s national security.
The Major General also said that Pakistan resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violations and targeted brigade, battalion headquarters but the immediate response by Indian Army foiled those efforts.
He added that mechanised forces have been placed on a standby and assured that the Indian Army is totally prepared for action.
Besides this, the Air Vice Marshal confirmed that the Indian air strike destroyed all the targets it was tasked to destroy.
With regards to the number of terrorist casualties in the air strikes, the Air Vice Marshal stated that it is premature to come to any conclusion. He though added that the IAF has achieved the result it wanted to achieve.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
