In response to the attack on Uri military base attack carried out by Pakistan-based terrorists, Indian Army conducted surgical strikes on terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC) on the intervening night of September 28 and 29, 2016. After the Army announced that it had carried out the attack deep into the Pakistan-occupied territory, Islamabad had questioned the veracity of the claims.
Nearly one and half years after the strike, the video of the surgical strike has been accessed by Zee News. The video shows the Indian Army commandos demolishing terror launch pads.

The video, which was captured through cameras mounted on the helmets of the commandos and drones hovering in the sky, shows how the Indian Army destroyed seven terror launch pads.
The operation was carried out by para commandos of the 4th and 9th battalions and the terror launch pads targeted were in the range of 2 to 3 km from the LoC.
"Based on receiving specific and credible inputs that some terrorist teams had positioned themselves at launch pads along the Line of Control to carry out infiltration and conduct terrorist strikes inside Jammu and Kashmir and in various metros in other states, the Indian Army conducted surgical strikes at several of these launch pads to pre-empt infiltration by terrorists," the DGMO had said in a statement after the strike.
