He further asserted that, as per the plan, the targets were destroyed and no civilian population was harmed.
“The whole world has witnessed what our Armed Forces have done today. The action was carried out very thoughtfully and in a measured manner.

I also congratulate Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for providing complete support to the forces,” Singh added.
