Following the success of Operation Sindoor in May 2025, Pakistan has notably shifted to a tech-driven, low-profile terror strategy in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), significantly reducing its operational terror camps from around 40-50 to just 8. This recalibration follows India’s precision strikes on nine major terror launchpads, including those in Bahawalpur and Muridke, which crippled the infrastructure of groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad. Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) now focuses on deploying smaller, technologically advanced camps equipped with anti-surveillance measures such as thermal and radar-masking technologies, as well as anti-drone systems, to evade detection and air strikes. The camps are dispersed to minimize the impact of future Indian retaliations and guarded by specialized military units. This shift underscores Pakistan’s strategic caution after suffering significant losses, including the clearing out of nearly 400 terrorists from the PoK region. Despite attempts to rebuild, intelligence agencies alert Indian forces to remain vigilant as Pakistan adapts its terror operations into a more clandestine, high-tech approach, seeking to avoid direct confrontation while continuing proxy warfare. This evolution highlights the effectiveness of India’s robust defense doctrine that holds Pakistan accountable as a state sponsor of terrorism.
