No one was killed in Balakot air strike: Sushma Swaraj

The IAF was claimed to struck a Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist training camp in Pakistan's Balakot area on February 26, in response to the February 14 Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed. AHMEDABAD: External Affairs Minister and BJP leader Sushma Swaraj Thursday said no Pakistani soldier or citizen died in the air strike carried out by the Indian Air Force across the border in response to the Pulwama terror attack in February. Addressing women party workers here, she stressed on a 2014-like full majority BJP-led government this time also, saying former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee could not do everything which he wanted to because he was heading a coalition administration. The IAF was claimed to struck a Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist training camp in Pakistan's Balakot area on February 26, in response to the February 14 Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed. Swaraj said the air strike was carried out in self- defence. "When we carried out air strike across the border after the Pulwama terror attack, we had told the international community that we took that step in self-defence only but no one was killed in this reception.
