“Shortly after the strikes, NSA Ajit Doval spoke with the US NSA and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and briefed him on the actions taken,” the Indian Embassy in the US said in a statement.
According to the Ministry of Defence, focused strikes were carried out on nine terrorist infrastructure sites targeting the roots of cross-border terror planning.
The Indian Embassy in the US stated that there were credible leads, technical intelligence, survivor testimonies, and other evidence gathered, through which India identified the involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in orchestrating the heinous Pahalgam attack, where the terrorists gunned down 26 innocent civilians.
India reaffirmed that the measures were designed to be “non-escalatory” and aimed solely at neutralizing immediate threats from terror outfits.
“India continues to seek cooperation from the international community in holding terror sponsors accountable and preventing further loss of innocent lives,” the statement added.
“It’s a shame. We just heard about it… They’ve been fighting for a long time…They have been fighting for many many decades.. and centuries actually. I just hope it ends very quickly,” Trump told reporters.
