Hindi daily Dainik Jagran seemed to have the story of the year in its Tuesday morning edition. The headline of its lead story on the front page screamed “Bharat ne Pakistan par fir ki surgical strike”, translating to India unleashes surgical strike again on Pakistan.
The strap carried prodigious details: About 12-15 Indian army soldiers, on foot, had crossed into Kotli in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir – nearly 2.5 km beyond the Line of Control from Rajouri and Poonch districts on the Indian side. They had attacked a terrorist camp, killed seven to eight terrorists, destroyed four of their launching pads, and returned unscathed.
