10 Points Brief: Indian Surgical Strike In Myanmar. In a rare show of cross border counter-terror operations, the Indian Army sent its paratroopers to avenge the ambush of Manipur. The best part is – all or boys are back safe. We try and summarise today’s mission in ten points.
10 Points Brief: Indian Surgical Strike In Myanmar
- NSCN-K terrorists who did Manipur ambush killing 18 Indian soldiers on 6th June, crossed the border back into Myanmar and hid in 2 camps there.
- Indian army intelligence traced the terrorist’s organisations in a massive hunt that followed the ambush.
- The army found out that more attacks were planned from Myanmar camps.
- Drones were sent deep in Myanmar territory to locate those camps.
- One camp was located east of Nagaland and another east of Manipur, approximately 150 KM south. Both well inside Myanmar.
- Once the drones located the camps, Indian army top leadership sought operational clearance from PMO India (involved border crossing). The PMO was quick in providing the clearance.
- Planes carrying Indian Special Forces silently crossed into Myanmar after informing the government on India.
- It was not a joint operation with Myanmar army, intelligence or government. All special commandos were dropped strategically.
- Indian Special Forces eliminated at least 20 NSCN-K terrorists in the two camps inside Myanmar. Best of all, there was zero casualty for India which is a splendid news in a hostile foreign territory.
- The army announced the success of this hot pursuit inside Myanmar only after every single Indian Special Forces commando reached home safely.
