Pakistan is reportedly employing the guise of a ceasefire to send terrorists over the Line of Control (LoC), boosting the number of militants at strategic terrorist camps. Intelligence reports suggested that terrorist organisations supported by the Pakistani Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) are gearing up for infiltration efforts, exploiting shifting weather patterns.
Indian security forces have detected three main terrorist launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), where terrorists are trained and deployed before trying to cross into India.
Large-scale staging of terrorists
Intelligence reports indicated that a large number of terrorists have been shifted forward from Muzaffarabad-based Mujahid Camp to various launch sites along the LoC:
- Leepa Sector – 10 terrorists
- Uri Sector – 8 terrorists
- Poonch Sector – 12 terrorists
- Nikial Sector – 6 terrorists
- Khuiretta Sector – 10 terrorists
Indian security forces on high alert
The rise in terrorist movement and positioning at forward bases has kept Indian security forces on their toes. With the summer season around the corner, attempts at infiltration are likely to increase. Security agencies remain vigilant to prevent any cross-border terrorism.
