India’s military strikes into Pakistan-controlled Kashmir and Pakistan earlier this week killed more than 100 militants – including their prominent leadership, India’s director general of military operations said on Sunday.

Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai said India’s armed forces stuck nine militant infrastructure and training facilities, including sites of the Lashkar-e-Taiba group that India blames for carrying out major militant strikes in India and the disputed region of Kashmir.
