The Army's Eastern Command made clear it didn't cross the international border. The operation was triggered after a column of the Indian Army was attacked by insurgents.
The Army also stated that the operation was nothing like the Special Forces' cross-border raid carried out in 2015 to destroy Naga insurgent camps inside Myanmar.
