On February 26, Indian fighter jets carried out air strikes in Balakot are on what the Modi administration alleged were ‘militant camps’. According to Pakistan, Indian bombs hit a largely empty hillside without hurting anyone. Some Indian opposition leaders have asked the Modi government to share evidence of the air strikes. But India’s Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s top aides, said that “no security agencies ever share operational details”. Following the Pulwama incident, the IAF fighter jets violated Pakistani airspace near LoC and were chased away by Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets on February 26.
