As preparations for Republic Day commence, the Indian Army has ramped up security along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir. Large-scale search operations are underway in Kathua, Samba, Rajouri, and Poonch. Last night, five drones attempting to infiltrate Indian territory were promptly neutralized by the forces.
According to security agencies, a total of 131 terrorists are active, including 122 from Pakistan and 9 locals. Meanwhile, in Pakistan's Punjab province, the anti-terrorism exercise 'Inspired Gambit 2026', in collaboration with the United States, has commenced.
The Border Security Force is on high alert to prevent the smuggling of weapons and explosives via drones. Following intercepted satellite phone communications in the Kanachak area, security forces have launched intensive search operations.
Threats from Terror Networks in Jammu Sector
Evaluations by security agencies reveal around 35 active Pakistani terrorists in the Jammu area, indicating attempts to revive terrorism south of the Pir Panjal range. Indian forces are intensifying their anti-infiltration and counter-terrorism operations, focusing on drone-based activities due to persistent aerial infiltration attempts.
Concerns Over Pakistan-US Drill
A joint anti-terrorism exercise is underway at Pakistan's National Counter Terrorism Center with the United States. Indian security officials express concerns over the disconnect between Pakistan's global anti-terror narratives and ground realities. In the wake of India's 'Operation Sindoor' targeting terror infrastructure, Pakistan seeks to improve ties with Washington, while terrorist groups remain operational.
Intercepted Satellite Communications and Intensified Security
Security forces intercepted communications to Pakistan via satellite devices or phones in the border Kanachak area. Swift action led to a comprehensive search operation across the region. In anticipation of Republic Day, the security grid from Kathua to Rajouri has been further fortified to prevent any untoward incidents.
