PoK on Alert: Pakistan Army Moves to Shield Terror Operatives Amid India’s Warnings

Fast Summary

• After India’s stern response to the Pahalgam terror attack,Pakistan has ordered terrorists from over seven launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) to take shelter under the Pak army.
• Terrorist launch pads in areas like lipa, Jura, Dudhiniyal, Kel, Shardi, Sardari, and Kotli are being evacuated as part of these orders.
• According to reports, these launch pads house terrorists trained at three Lashkar-e-Taiba camps with provisions like weapons and food. These hideouts enable infiltration into India for carrying out terrorist incidents.

• This upheaval has contributed substantially to panic within the army and ISI intelligence agency amidst increasing instability.
