"The operation was executed after series of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions led to the identification of the Command Centre with its solar panels, communications equipment and other facilities. "The three Alpha Jets dispatched by the ATF engaged the location in multiple passes, recording accurate hits on the target area.
“The structures housing the Command Centre were completely destroyed by the strikes while several of the terrorists were neutralised. "The few surviving terrorists, who were seen attempting to flee the area, were taken out by follow on attacks,” he said.
