In the cross border airstrikes, India destroyed terrorist launchpads and Jaish-e-Mohammed control rooms.
India had killed the mastermind of the bombing in an encounter, gone on a diplomatic offensive to isolate Pakistan on the world stage, increased basic customs duty on Pakistani exports, and reiterated plans to stop its share of Indus water from flowing to its northwestern neighbour.
