The Indian Air Force (IAF) carried out "pre-emptive strikes" on Jaish-e-Mohammed bases in Pakistan early on Tuesday morning. The strikes were in retaliation of the Pulwama terror attacks on 14 February, for which the organisation had claimed responsibilty. While social media praised the move, the film industry came out in full support of the military action.
Akshay Kumar was among the many to take to Twitter to praise the action by the Indian Air Force.
The strikes took place at 03.30 am on Tuesday with the IAF dropping a payload of 1000kg bombs on the targets.
