Key sites included Srinagar, Jammu, Adampur, Sirsa, Pathankot and S-400 systems as well as intelligence and logistics nodes accused of supporting terrorism in Pakistan.
A ceasefire was reached after the intervention of US President Donald Trump and stopped further escalation between the two nuclear armed states.
