The Balakot surgical strike took place on the 13th day of the Pulwama terror attacks in which a suicide bomber had rammed a vehicle full of explosives into a convoy containing CRPF soldiers. Around 40 soldiers lost their lives and many were seriously injured. Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed took up the responsibility of the attack. 12 French Mirage 2000 fighters crossed the Line of Control to enter Pakistan’s air space to bomb terror camps of Jaish-e-Mohammed outfit. The mission started around 3:15 am and lasted for nearly 21 minutes. The air strikes were met with widespread enthusiasm and appreciation by the Indians.
