The bomb load clearly indicates the intention to bomb an area target and in this case it turned out to be an open area near Village Jabba close to Balakot in Pakistan’s KPK province. The problem is that India chose a target area outside the disputed Kashmir area well within Pakistan. Pakistan’s interceptors responded and their rapid response has led to the perception that the Indian pilots exited hastily jettisoning their bombs. After the Balakot bomb run Pakistan had reserved the right to respond at a time and place of its choosing. The world needs to support Pakistan especially as it moves to eradicate militancy from its soil in its own interest.
