IAF strikes in Pakistan updates: No reports of any IAF jet suffering damage in Pak action

Pakistan army confirmed that Indian fighter jets dropped "four bombs" during an operation on Tuesday but downplayed its significance, saying the Indian attack was repulsed and while going back the aircraft "jettisoned their payload".

The Western Naval Command in Mumbai is on a high alert and "fully prepared" to tackle any eventualities, an official said. "After the air strikes carried out by the IAF on a Jaish-e-Mohammed training camp in Pakistan in the early hours on Tuesday, the security agencies have put the city on high alert," the official said

Villagers near the town of Balakot in northeast Pakistan were shaken out of their sleep by what seemed like an earthquake in the early hours of Tuesday, only discovering once dawn broke that there had been an Indian airstrike on their neighbourhood. India's foreign secretary said, "a very large number of JeM terrorists" had been eliminated in what was the first Indian air strike on Pakistani territory since 1971.
