#Balakot: Here’s what eyewitnesses are saying about India’s airstrike

In a short press briefing on Tuesday, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale confirmed that the Indian Air Force struck terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed’s “biggest training camp” in Balakot. The move is being referred to as “intelligence-led operation” which killed a “large number” of terrorists.

However, the numbers vary. According to a section of the Indian media, the strikes have killed 300 terrorists. There has been no official statement on the exact number so far. Meanwhile, according to a Reuters report, one person has been wounded. “Pakistani villagers in the area where Indian jets struck…heard four loud bangs in the early hours of Tuesday.” They have reported only one person was wounded by bomb shards, the report stated. The dateline for the report is Balakot.

The report quoted Mohammad Ajmal, a 25-year-old who visited the site, as saying: “We saw trees fallen down and one house damaged and four craters where the bombs had fallen.”

Another eyewitness who spoke to the BBC says that one person was injured. He adds that 4-5 houses were also damaged.
