10 Years Since Uri Attack: Military Leaders Detail India's Surgical Strikes
Marking 10 years since the 2016 Uri terror attack, former military leaders Lt Gen Satish Dua and Lt Gen D.S. Hooda detailed India's surgical strikes across the Line of Control. Following the attack that killed 18 soldiers, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar approved retaliatory operations targeting terrorist camps and logistics. The strikes, resulting in estimated terrorist casualties, combined military planning with political decisions and were publicly acknowledged, setting a precedent for future actions like the Balakot airstrikes.
