Review: Surjical Strike, 42 terrorists killed by Indian Army


surgical strike is a military attack which results in, was intended to result in, or is claimed to have resulted in only damage to the intended legitimate military target, and no or minimal collateral damage to surrounding structures, vehicles, buildings, or the general public infrastructure and utilities.
A swift and targeted attack with the aim of minimum collateral damage to the nearby areas and civilians is a surgical strike. Neutralization of targets with surgical strikes also prevents escalation to a full blown war. Surgical strike attacks can be carried out via air strike, airdropping special ops teams or a swift ground operation or by sending special troops
The surgical strike came as a response to the attack on an Indian army camp in Uri on 18th September where 18 Indian soldiers were killed. Following the attack, India withdrew from the SAARC Summit that was to be held in Islamabad in November, India has also begun contemplating changes in water treaties with Pakistan
Nearly 10 days after the Uri attack that claimed 18 jawans, India carried outsurgical strikes in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, inflicting heavy casualties on terrorists and 'those protecting them" and indicating a change of stand on the rules of engagement on the disputed line of control. 

Indian DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh announced that Pakistan had been informed about the strikes and that India has no intention of continuing the operations but is ready for any reaction from the Pak side. 
The response, first of its kind across the Pakistani border during peace time, was based on specific intelligence, claim reports
