NEW DELHI: Eleven days after the ghastly terror attack in Pulwama, the Indian Air Force in the wee hours on Tuesday carried out a clinical air strike in Pakistan's Balakot. Targeting one of the biggest terror camps of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), the Indian Air Force, reportedly dropped over 1,000 kg bombs, destroying the terror outfit camps.

Soon after, talk of the viral strike on social media and the Indian Air Force and their efforts were praised by multiple sports persons.

Here are some of the Tweets by sporting icons of the country.

Our niceness should never be understood as our weakness. I salute the IAF, Jai Hind 1945

The strike by the Air Force in Balakot was a response to the terror attack that shook the nation a couple of weeks back.

On February 14, an attack on a PPCR convoy in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama saw 40 Indian paramilitary personnel being martyred.

Confirming the IAF strike, Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale, in a media briefing said that the Pulwama attack, credible intelligence was received.

"In the face of imminent danger, a preemptive strike has become absolutely necessary, the foreign secretary said.
