'Terrorist launchpads active in PoK': BSF braces for Pak backed infiltration attempts in winter claims 'force alert'
Times of India | English | News | Dec. 2, 2025 | Terrorism
The Border Security Force (BSF) has confirmed that despite Operation Sindoor successfully destroying several terrorist launchpads across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), some launchpads remain active. Pakistan is reportedly attempting to infiltrate terrorists into India ahead of the winter, utilizing these operational launchpads now relocated to "depth areas" away from the immediate border. These launchpads serve to push terrorists into India and feature mixed groups of militants, unlike earlier configurations that segregated groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Senior BSF officials revealed that while many launchpads near the border were destroyed, over 70 launchpads still operate in Pakistan’s depth areas such as Sialkot and Zaffarwal, with the number of terrorists and active sites fluctuating. The launchpads are typically used when terrorists need to be sent into India, with no permanent presence maintained and no active training camps close to the international border currently. The BSF maintains low visibility conditions during winter are countered with modern surveillance to prevent infiltration attempts.
BSF leadership also expressed readiness to escalate their response if the government orders a resumption of Operation Sindoor, citing past experience in conventional and hybrid warfare. They indicated a capability to inflict greater damage than in previous operations, reaffirming their preparedness for continued counterterrorism efforts along the border.
