JABA, Pakistan: Days after India said its warplanes hit a militant Islamist group's training camp on the site of a religious school in northeastern Pakistan, killing a large number of militants, the site appeared undamaged and deserted.
Local residents told Reuters the school, near Jaba village and the town of Balakot in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, was no longer operational.Pointing to a white building on top of one of the hills around Jaba, one villager said"that used to be the madrasa but it is no longer active".
Military officials stationed near the site did not want to talk about the JeM facility but said no damage was caused to any buildings and there was no loss of life in the Indian attack, echoing what local villagers said.
