The Indian Army on Wednesday carried out a massive military strike on Naga insurgent camps near Myanmar border and inflicted heavy casualties to Naga insurgents. It involved 70 Para commandos and happened at 4:45 AM. The Indian security forces suffered no casualties.
The eastern command asserted that Indian troops did not cross the international border.
According to a statement by the Eastern Command of the Indian Army, it claimed that the operation was in response to firing on Indian troops by unidentified insurgents. “Own troops retaliated swiftly and brought down heavy retaliatory fire on the insurgents. The insurgents then broke contact and fled from the spot.
Reacting to reports that the Army may have conducted a surgical strike, officials sources clarified that the operation was “not a surgical strike.”
