BSF Destroys Terror Launch Pad in Pakistan’s Sialkot
In a precision cross-border operation, the Border Security Force (BSF) successfully destroyed a terrorist launch pad located in Looni village of Pakistan’s Sialkot district, directly across from the Akhnoor sector in Jammu. The strike marks a significant tactical success in India’s efforts to neutralise cross-border terror infrastructure.
According to defence sources, the launch pad was being actively used by terrorist groups to prepare infiltration attempts into Indian territory. Intelligence inputs had confirmed the presence of armed militants and logistical supplies at the site, prompting the BSF to take swift and targeted action.
The strike resulted in a complete decimation of the structure, with secondary explosions reported due to the presence of ammunition and explosives stored at the site. Surveillance footage and ground reports confirmed heavy damage, leaving no chance for recovery or reuse of the facility by terror operatives.
Strategic Blow to Cross-Border Terrorism
The launch pad at Looni was considered a key staging point for Pakistan-backed infiltration attempts into Jammu and Kashmir. Located in close proximity to the Line of Control and International Border, it had long been under observation for suspicious activity.
The Akhnoor region has historically been a vulnerable infiltration corridor used by terror groups to enter the Jammu sector. By eliminating this launch pad, Indian security forces have dealt a serious blow to militant logistics and planning along the western front.
High Vigilance Continues Across Borders
The BSF operation comes amid heightened security conditions across India’s northern border states. Drone incursions, cross-border shelling, and terror-related alerts have surged in recent weeks, prompting enhanced surveillance and deployment of precision-response units along sensitive zones.
With the destruction of the Looni launch pad, India has once again demonstrated its resolve to preemptively dismantle threats emanating from across the border. Security forces remain on high alert to intercept any further attempts by terror outfits to regroup or retaliate.
