Early on Tuesday, India woke up to news of Indian Armed Forces seeking revenge for the Pulwama tragedy by launching air strikes on the Jaish-e-Mohammed camps across the LoC.
Twelve Mirage 2000 fighter jets containing approximately 1000 kg of explosives were used to completely obliterate the terror camps across the LoC. This is deemed to be the first across the border attacks in recent history, the last one being during the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
In the successful mission, India struck the biggest training camp of the JeM, and this is considered to be a major victory after the Pakistani terror group wreaked havoc in our country less than two weeks ago.
Pakistani officials continue to remain silent on the issue, and are yet to release an official statement on the attack. However, Pakistan army spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor tweeted that by carrying out such an attack, Indian Armed Forces had violated the terms of the Line of Control.
Indian aircrafts intruded from Muzafarabad sector. Facing timely and effective response from Pakistan Air Force released payload in haste while escaping which fell near Balakot. No casualties or damage.

India had received confidential intelligence that the JeM was preparing for a series of attacks on the country, and that “fidayeen militants” were receiving training for the same.
What is ironical is the fact that just hours before the air strike, Pakistani Defence had tweeted that the Pakistan Air Forces are awake. It was supposed to be a warning for India.

But turns out, India was already geared up to give a solid reply to the tweet. Not in words, but in a language the JeM would understand. This is how Indians are reacting to the tweet now:
