India carries out 'surgical strikes' along Kashmir frontier
New Delhi : India's military has carried out "surgical strikes" along the de facto border with Pakistan in Kashmir to thwart a series of attacks being planned against major cities, a senior army officer said Thursday.
"Some terrorist teams had positioned themselves at launchpads along the Line of Control," Lieutenant General Ranbir Singh, the army's director-general of military operations, said in reference to the unofficial border in divided Kashmir.
"The Indian army conducted surgical strikes last night at these launchpads. Significant casualties have been caused to these terrorists and those who are trying to support them," he told reporters in New Delhi.
