It is not only the US Navy seals who can enter into Pakistani territory and kill the world's most wanted man Osama Bin Laden, as Indian Army is no lesser when it comes to cross-border operations. In a first of its kind of cross-border operation, special forces of the army, along with Indian Air Force, carried out a surgical strike inside Myanmar, killing nearly 20 insurgents of the groups believed to be responsible for the deadly ambush in Manipur that killed 20 soldiers and injured 11 on Thursday, June Source: Hindustan Times

Major General Ranbir Singh, Additional Director General Military Operations, while disclosing the operation said army was put on "high alert" after the Manipur attack.

"These attacks were to be carried out by some of the groups involved in earlier attacks on our security personnel and their allies," he has said.

The operation had already got a green signal from Prime Ministers office (PMO) and as a part of the process to fine tune the strike, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval had dropped out of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bangladesh visit.

NSCN(K), which reneged from a ceasefire in March, has been involved in a series of attacks in tandem with some other militant groups under the banner of the "United Liberation Front of South East Asia".
