00:00There were nine camps that you are now all familiar with which were confirmed by our various intelligence agencies to be inhabited.
00:14Some of these were in POJK while there were others that were located in the Punjab province in Pakistan.
00:23Nefarious places such as Muridke, the hub centre of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, has over the years bred infamous characters such as Ajmal Kasab and the likes of David Headley.
00:40What followed was a careful scrutiny of each of these sinister locations, their layout, configuration, even the type of construction in each structure and the terrain obtained around these.
00:56This was with an obvious intent to deduce and identify the exact vector that was required for their neutralization as also the eyes in the sky that we would send up to ensure that we brought back evidence that we had indeed targeted what we set out to.
01:21The precise images of these engagements on that fateful and historical night have already been showcased during the first press statement on the 7th of May that was helmed by our Foreign Secretary.
01:37I have no doubt in my mind that we achieved total surprise and those strikes across those nine terror hubs left more than 100 terrorists killed, including high-value targets such as Yusuf Azar, Abdul Malik Rauf and Mudassir Ahmed that were involved in the hijack of IC 814 and the Pulwama blast.
02:06The line of control was also violated soon after by Pakistan and the erratic and rattled response of our enemy was apparent from the number of civilians, inhabited villages and religious sites such as Gurudwara's that were unfortunately hit by them, leading to a sad loss of lives.
02:30The Indian Air Force played a major part in these strikes by engaging some of these camps and the Indian Navy provided wherewithal in terms of precision munitions.
