According to the sources, an aerial surveillance platform, identified several life-support structures and suspected terrorists moving within the targeted area.
The surveillance platform reportedly tracked about five suspected fighters taking cover under a tree, while four others were observed entering a nearby life-support structure.
Further movement was subsequently detected within the camp, prompting the platform to conduct a precision strike on the suspected terrorists’ position.
The strike destroyed the targeted building and reportedly neutralised about eight suspected terrorists. A battle damage assessment conducted after the strike showed four suspected fighters fleeing from beneath the tree and adjoining buildings, apparently seeking safety.
The operation formed part of ongoing efforts to disrupt terrorist concentrations and prevent planned attacks on troops.
