IAF Strike in Balakot, Pakistan: Jammu, Leh and Srinagar airports have been indefinitely shut
New Delhi: 
A day after the Indian fighter jets crossed the Line of Control or LoC before dawn and carried out "non-military, pre-emptive air strikes" to target terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed's camp in Pakistan, the Jammu, Leh and Srinagar airports were indefinitely shut. The move comes after an Indian Air Force chopper crashed in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam this morning. Two bodies were recovered from the site, said police.
The crash took place after both sides across the LoC exchanged heavy shelling and firing. The area has been on high alert amid warnings by Pakistan of retaliation after Tuesday's strike by the Indian Air Force.
There have also been reports coming in of Pakistani fighter jets violating Indian air space in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch and Rajouri sectors.
Earlier in the day, Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, in a visit to China, said India wants to avoid any "further escalation of the situation" and will "continue to act with responsibility and restraint".
The US asked Pakistan to take "meaningful action" against terror groups, with the Donald Trump administration calling for India and Pakistan to "exercise restraint" amid heightened tension between the two.

Latest News Read Here: IAF Strikes In Pakistan: India Rejects Pakistan Claim Of Jet Shot Down As Islamabad Claims Strike

India today denied Pakistani claims of shooting down Indian jets and said "all our pilots are accounted for" after Pakistan put out a statement claiming "strikes across Line of Control from within Pakistani airspace", a day after Indian fighter jets destroyed a vast terror training camp within Pakistan in a pre-dawn strike.

A Pakistani F-16 aircraft has apparently crashed on its own territory.

In a press release titled "Pakistani Strikes Back", Islamabad said "This was not a retaliation to continued Indian belligerence. Pakistan has therefore, taken strikes at non military target, avoiding human loss and collateral damage. Sole purpose being to demonstrate our right, will and capability for self defence. We have no intention of escalation, but are fully prepared to do so if forced into that paradigm. That is why we undertook the action with clear warning and in broad daylight."

After the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, came the torture, crawling, floggings TNN Apr 13, 2019, 12:05 IST To punish Amritsar, the military ordered residents to compulsorily salute all British men, arrested hundreds without charge, tortured them and tried them under martial law. 100 years on, the British govt still refuses to apologise for the atrocities carried out in Jallianwala Across undivided Punjab, especially in Amritsar, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre on April 13, 1919 was not the end, but the beginning of suffering. The colonial administration was in no mood to relent and followed the massacre with the imposition of martial law on April 16 (and back dated to March 30) and reprisals included forced crawling in the lane where a British missionary teacher was attacked, public floggings, indiscriminate arrests and a host of other humiliations.
