    Default The end or the beginning?

    An Indian news website report and note Shashank Joshi, of The Economist tweeted:
    So an airstrike not just in Pakistan-administered Kashmir but in undisputed Pakistani territory. A significant escalation

    Well India claims to have struck a JeM training base, which Pakistan denies:
    A top Indian minister said strikes targeted a training camp of the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) group in Balakot. Pakistan said the strikes hit an empty area but vowed to respond.

    Updates via Shashank Joshi's tweets and unconfirmed:
    Sources: The weapons used by the Indian Air Force was the Spice 2000, an Israeli smart munition with a range of about 100 kms. Incredible weapon. Is pre-fed imagery of the target which it identifies and then strikes after being dropped from an IAF platform
    Another cautionary Tweet:
    What we know: 1. The Pakistan army regularly lies through its teeth. (Remember Abbottabad.) 2. Much of the Indian media exaggerates wildly. (Remember nutty demonetization.) 3. Social media mobs in both countries view skepticism as a form of treason.

    NEW DELHI: India carried out pre-dawn air strikes on terror training camps across the Line of Control on Tuesday, two weeks after 40 soldiers were killed in a terror attack in Kashmir's Pulwama. At around 3:30 this morning, 12 Mirage 2000 fighter jets of the Indian Air Force dropped 1,000 kg bombs on terror camps of the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.

    Default Something appears to have gone wrong in the targeting process

    An open source examination of the India air strike; the title comes from the last paragraph.
