In an operation that took place at around 3.30 am on Tuesday, the Indian Air Force destroyed Jaish-e-Mohammed's camps across the Line of Control (LoC), ANI said quoting sources.

12 Mirage 2000 Indian Fighter jets dropped 1,000 kg of bombs on the said terror camps, the news agency reported, adding, the casualties from the operation stood between 200 and 300.

Foreign secretary Vijay Gokhale, in a media briefing, confirmed reports and said India struck the biggest training camp of Jaish-e-Mohammad in Balakot, Pakistan.
