Former Indian National Cricket Team cricketer Virender Sehwag has warned Pakistan following the reports of India Air Force’s (IAF) group of Mirage 2000 fighter jets struck the base camps of Jaish-e-Mohammad, Lashkar-e-Toiba and Hizbul Mujahideen across the Line of Control on the wee hours of Tuesday (February 26).
According to the mainstream media, as many as 12 fighter jets had damaged the different base camps of ‘terror camps’ in the Muzaffarabad area of Pakistan claimed Kashmir.
As per the reports from Asian News International (ANI), the Indian Air Force jets dropped 1,000 kg bombs on multiple camps in Balakot, Chakoti area of Pakistan Administered Kashmir between 3.15 AM, and 4:00 AM in retaliation to the Pulwama attack.
Besides, cricketers took to the social media platforms to laud the Indian Air Force for carrying out a successful operation. Well, Sehwag has congratulated the Indian Air Force for the recent strikes.
He takes a sly dig at Pakistan by tweeting, “The boys have played really well”.
