“India has credible leads, technical inputs, testimony of the survivors and other evidence pointing towards the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in this attack,” it said.

“It was expected that Pakistan would take action against terrorists and the infrastructure that supports them.Instead, during the fortnight that has gone by, Pakistan has indulged in denial and made allegations of false flag operations against India,” it added.

India's actions came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack triggered widespread outrage in India and abroad.

"These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered," the Indian Army said in the statement.

"We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable," it said.

The top military brass of India was closely monitoring the operation, people familiar with the matter said.

In a high-level meeting with the top defence brass, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 29 gave the armed forces "complete operational freedom" to decide on the mode, targets and timing of the response to the Pahalgam terror attack. He also emphasised the national resolve to deal a "crushing blow to terrorism".
