India had vowed to retaliate after a Pakistan-based group claimed a massive attack in Kashmir.

Pakistani protesters shout slogans and carry an effigy of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest against India, in Peshawar, Pakistan, on Monday, Feb. 25, 2019. Gokhale, India’s foreign secretary, said the Indian strike was based on “credible intelligence” that further attacks were being planned by Jaish-e-Muhammad, which is designated a terrorist organization by the United States.

He called the strike a “preemptive action” specifically targeting Jaish-e-Muhammad that was “conditioned by our desire to avoid civilian casualties.” The camp was located on a thickly forested hillside away from civilian dwellings, Gokhale said. Tuesday’s operation appears to be the most significant retaliatory move by India against its neighbor since 2016. That year, militants stormed an Indian army base near the town of Uri in Kashmir, killing 19 soldiers.

In the wake of that attack, the Modi government launched what it called “surgical strikes” by commandos across the heavily militarized frontier that separates Indian- and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir. Pakistan denied that such cross-border raids took place. India accuses Pakistan of sheltering and supporting groups like Jaish-e-Muhammad, something Pakistan denies. Since 1989, militant groups have waged an insurgency to end Indian rule in Kashmir. The Himalayan region has been divided between India and Pakistan for more than 70 years.
