Multiple Indian Air Force (IAF) jets on the night of February 25-26 crossed the Line of Control (LoC) and carried out limited strikes on several Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) camps, according to a report by News18 citing top government sources.

One of the locations is reported to be a JeM hideout in Bala kote in PoK, where there was a “huge blast”.

Pakistan claimed on Tuesday that Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter jets crossed the Line of Control and returned after Pakistan Air Force (PAF) scrambled warplanes.

Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Asif Ghafoor tweeted early in the morning and Radio Pakistan claimed that IAF planes dropped payload in haste before leaving, which fell near Balakot in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The alleged incident took place in the Muzaffarabad sector, claimed Radio Pakistan.

The Indian government is expected to make a statement shortly.
