• marks a major shift in India’s counter-terror responses,
• which have thus far been restricted to ground operations across the LoC in Pakistan- occupied Kashmir.
• Announcing the strikes, the government said it was a “non-military, pre-emptive” counter- terror operation against imminent threats from the JeM.
