Terrorist Presence in PoK: Report Suggests Over 130 Trained Terrorists Situated on 42 Launch Pads, Alarmingly High Figure
Unraveling the Unrest: The situation along the India-Pakistan border has grown increasingly tense after the horrific Pahalgam terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district. In this attack, 26 souls, including a Nepali citizen, perished.
Ground Reports: Following the tragic Pahalgam attack, Indian security forces are now keenly focused on certain terror launch pads and training camps tucked within Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Reports indicate that these launch pads have been under close surveillance by Indian agencies for months now.
All Eyes on PoK: Based on intelligence insights, these launch pads have been strategically placed near the Line of Control in PoK. With approximately 130 terrorists stationed there, the Indian Army is maintaining a hawk's eye view on the happenings at these facilities. While tactical options like expanding precision surveillance and reinforcing counter-infiltration grids are being considered, the Indian Army is keeping a close watch.
Operatives on the Move
It's alarming to note that the intelligence suggests that there are over 70 terrorists operating in Kashmir, with around 60-65 lurking in the Jammu, Rajouri, and Poonch areas. Approximately 115 of these are believed to be Pakistani nationals.
A Hotbed of Conflict
The majority of the killed foreign terrorists have been observed in five districts of Jammu: Jammu, Udhampur, Kathua, Doda, and Rajouri. Meanwhile, in Kashmir's valley, they were primarily targeted in Baramulla, Bandipora, Kupwara, and Kulgam. Baramulla has emerged as a major hub, with 14 foreign militants being killed across nine encounters, particularly in areas such as Sabura Nala, Main Uri sector, Kamalkot Uri near the LoC, and Sopore’s hinterlands like Chak Tappar Kriri, Nowpora, Hadipora, and Watergam.
Pakistan's High Alert
Simultaneously, the Pakistan Army has announced a heightened alert on its side of the Line of Control, anticipating potential Indian action. As the situation continues to escalate, this decision comes in response to India's Punitive measures. It's important to remember that Pakistan Army has already breached the ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir three times this year, leading to the elimination of five terrorists by the Indian Army during an encounter.
The Price of Tension: The bitter relations between India and Pakistan have far-reaching implications for regional security and global peace, with nuclear concerns looming large over potential miscalculations that could stir a destructive conflict. The Pahalgam attack underscores the urgent need for peace, cooperation, and diplomacy to de-escalate tensions and maintain the fragile stability in the region.
- Despite the ongoing conflict in Kashmir, the world of finance and DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is unaffected, continuing to thrive amidst the general news and politics of war-and-conflicts and policy-and-legislation.
- In the heart of the tension, the launch of precision pads has taken a different meaning, as Indian forces endeavor to enhance their surveillance and counter-infiltration measures towards the terror launch pads in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.
- A ceasefire remains elusive as the Pakistan Army maintains a high alert, responding to India's punitive measures and the continued presence of over 130 terrorists in PoK.
- The crime-and-justice sector is keen to monitor the activities of approximately 70 terrorists operating in Kashmir, with around 115 believed to be Pakistani nationals, primarily roaming in the districts of Jammu, Udhampur, Kathua, Doda, Rajouri, Baramulla, Bandipora, Kupwara, and Kulgam.
- The prolonged unrest in Kashmir has serious ramifications for the broader market, as investors and economists alike keep watch over the volatile relations between India and Pakistan and the potential impacts on regional security and global peace.
- The Pahalgam attack serves as a stark reminder of the price paid by civilians caught in the crossfire of political and military discords, emphasizing the necessity for diplomatic dialogues to address policy-and-legislation issues and mitigate further acts of violence in regions like Kashmir.
