Background of India's Operation Sindoor
India conducted airstrikes in Pakistan recently under the operation code name Operation Sindoor. The airstrikes were a reaction to the Pahalgam terror attack. The Indian Army eliminated a number of terror camps run by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Intelligence reports indicate that these terror groups lost significant infrastructure in the operation.
Reactivation of Terror Infrastructure in Pakistan
Ignoring all these attacks, intelligence sources indicate that Pakistan is re-constructing terror camps. They are being re-established in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), according to reports. The ISI and PoK government are known to be financing this endeavor. Their objective seems to re-create training camps and launch pads for terror operations.
Locations and Strategic Placement of Camps
The camps are said to be constructed in wooded regions along the Line of Control (LoC). The region provides camouflage from aerial monitoring. The locations being spoken of are Luni, Putwal, Taipu Post, Jamila Post, Umranwali, Chaprar, Forward Kahuta, Chota Chak, and Janglora. The places are selected based on their natural camouflage and strategic location.
Use of Advanced Surveillance-Resistant Equipment
The camps reportedly employ cutting-edge technology. These include thermal imagers, penetration radar that penetrates greenery, and systems that camouflage against satellite detection. Such upgrades are designed to conceal the camps from aerial as well as satellite surveillance.
Details from Operation Sindoor
During Operation Sindoor, India targeted nine important terror camps. These included LeT's camp in Muridke and JeM's Bawalpur headquarters. Among the prime targets was the Markaz-e-Taiba Madrasa, considered to be LeT's headquarters. Another central location targeted was the Usman O Ali camp of Bawalpur, which has connections with Jaish.
High-Profile Casualties in the Strikes
Reports suggested that more than 170 terrorists were killed in the airstrikes. One of them was Abdul Rauf Azhar, a prominent Jaish leader who had been a central figure behind the hijacking of the 1999 IC814 flight. The operation caused serious disruption to terrorist activities in the area.
