Following India’s targeted airstrikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, intelligence agencies have reported substantial shifts in Pakistan’s terror strategies. After India’s retaliatory strikes—which directly responded to the devastating April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, that claimed 26 lives—Pakistan, with support from the ISI and military, is now constructing approximately 15 new terror camps and launch pads in PoK. These new camps, reportedly being erected near military installations, are intended to shield key assets from future Indian precision attacks. Despite suffering operational setbacks in the joint crackdown by Indian forces, groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) remain resilient, accelerating recruitment and training using encrypted communication tools and propaganda on social media platforms. Indian security forces recently eliminated top militants linked to the April 22 attack in high-profile operations, causing further friction among militant ranks. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during recent public addresses including one today in Varanasi, underscored the nation’s resolve to neutralize cross-border terror threats, while senior officials have emphasized India’s restraint and commitment to civilian safety. The evolving situation has heightened vigilance along the Line of Control, as infiltration attempts persist amidst intensified shelling and drone activity reported this week.
