The Indian Foreign Ministry stated that the airstrikes killed “a very large number” of militants and avoided civilian casualties. The ministry also stated that the action was carried out to prevent “imminent” suicide attacks in India. Pakistani officials have denied any casualties and have condemned the attack.

The strikes occurred after JeM claimed responsibility for a 14 February suicide attack in Indian-administered Kashmir in which more than 40 Indian troops were killed.
