Pahalgam terror attack: In view of cross-border links to the Pahalgam attack, India suspended the Indus Water Treaty and announced downgrading diplomatic ties with Pakistan, including the expulsion of its military attaches.
In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian security forces have identified key terror launch pads and training camps located in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). As per intelligence inputs, these facilities have been under close surveillance by Indian agencies for months.
The Indian Army has provided a detailed briefing to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, outlining both operational options and strategic recommendations.
The Indian Army is closely monitoring these developments. Tactical options, including precision surveillance expansion and counter-infiltration grid reinforcement, are under consideration.
