Indian airstrike targets suspected militant camps in Pakistan

Date 26.02.2019

The Indian government said on Tuesday that it had the right to protect itself after confirming that it had carried out an air raid on alleged militant targets in Pakistan that killed a "very large" number of fighters.

The bombing was in response to a February 14 attack on a security convoy in Kashmir. New Delhi has accused Pakistan of granting safe haven to the Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist group (JeM) that carried out the attack. At least 40 troops were killed in the worst assault on Indian troops since the insurgency in Kashmir began in 1989.

The prime ministers of India and Pakistan summoned emergency meetings of top lawmakers following the attack.

China, which shares a land border with the disputed region, called for "restraint" in a statement by its foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang.
