As part of the ongoing Operation Sindoor launched by India in response to Pakistan's continued support to terrorism, the Indian Army has reduced Pakistan’s terrorist launching pads located close to the Line of Control (LOC) in Jammu and Kashmir to cinders.

This major offensive was unleashed this morning in response to Pakistan's attempted drone strikes on the night of 08 and 09 May in multiple cities of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab, the Indian army said on its X handle and also posted a video of the operation:

“The Indian Army conducted a coordinated fire assault on terrorist launchpads, pulverizing & razing them to cinders.

Terrorist launchpads, located close to the Line of Control, were a hub for planning and executing terror attacks against Indian civilians and security forces in the past.

The Indian Army's swift and decisive action has dealt a significant blow to terrorist infrastructure and capabilities.

The launchpads often have ready-to-infiltrate terrorists waiting at the facility set up by the ISI and looked after by the Pakistan Army.

In a separate incident, the Border Security Force on Saturday said it has “completely destroyed” a terrorist launchpad opposite Akhnoor in Jammu in response to unprovoked firing from the other side along the International Border.

A video of this operation is being shared on X:

The base was located at Looni in Pakistan's Sialkot district, a BSF spokesperson said.

The terrorists receive indoctrination and further training there and have to wait for a chance to attempt to infiltrate J&K, often under the protection of the Pakistan Army.
