Terror launch pads News

The DIG termed the killing of two terrorists in Sopore's Reban encounter a major success for security forces, adding that any possibility of a future terror attack can't be ruled out.

ANI also posted a video shot from a drone showing the Indian Army destroying Pakistani terror launch pads in PoK.

The statements come neatly a fortnight after Zee News reported that Pakistan is training a group of terrorists in Balakot to carry out an attack in India.

Speaking on the issue of cross border terrorism emanating from Pakistan, he said, "This problem of terrorism is not something new. We have been tackling this for many years now, we have very strong counter-terrorist and counter-infiltration bid to deal with this situation."

Army Chief General Bipin Rawat on Sunday lauded the India security forces for giving a befitting response to ceasefire violation and unprovoked firing by Pakistani troops in the Tangdhar sector near Line of Control on Sunday.

According to sources, the Defence Minister is personally monitoring the situation and has asked the Army Chief to keep updating him over it. 

Several terror launch pads in Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir (PoK) were targeted by the Indian Army artillery guns after credible inputs about the presence of a significant number of terrorists operating there was received by the intelligence agencies.

The Indian Army carried out a major offensive against terrorists by destroying terror launch pads in PoK. The terror launch pad was located in Leepa Valley. Sources told Zee Media that the Army targeted the launch pad which was located near Pakistani Army posts. Sources added that Pakistani Army was using these post to target Indian villages in order to provide cover to the terrorists to infiltrate inside India.

Army conducted surgical strike across LoC in PoK and destroyed terrorist launch pads completely killing many terrorists.

Gen Rawat also backed the Centre's move to cancel talks with Pakistan.

The surgical strikes by the Indian Army were carried out by para commandos of the 4th and 9th battalions and the terror launch pads targeted were in the range of 2 to 3 km from the LoC.

Warning Pakistan, PM Narendra Modi on Wednesday had asserted that India will not tolerate those who like to export terror.

On the intervening night of September 28-29, 2016, the Indian Army had moved across the LoC and smashed terror launch pads.

Pakistan seems to be in a constant state of denial.

Congress on Wednesday criticised Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar for taking credits over surgical strikes carried out by the Indian Army.

Rattled by global isolation after India's diplomatic blitz over Pakistan's pro-terror policy, PM Nawaz Sharif has told the country's all-powerful ISI to crack down on terrorists.

Pakistan has become "desperate" after the Indian Army's surgical strikes in PoK, Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh on Thursday said, asserting that a "befitting" reply is being given to Pakistani troops engaged in ceasefire violations along the LoC.

Terrorists opened fire outside an 30 Rashtriya Rifles Army camp at Langate, Handwara, in Jammu and Kashmir early this morning. 

Politics continued over the 'surgical strikes' carried out by the Indian Army across the LoC at terror launch pads.

The Pakistani media has hailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as 'hero' for questioning the veracity of last week’s surgical strikes by the Indian armed forces across the Line of Control during which at least seven terror launch pads were completely destroyed.
