In a decisive response to escalating cross-border threats, the BSF destroys a terrorist launch pad in the Looni sector of Pakistan’s Sialkot district. This action follows a series of unprovoked ceasefire violations and infiltration attempts by Pakistan, intensifying the already strained relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
BSF Destroys Terror Launch Pad in Sialkot’s Looni Sector
On the night of May 9, 2025, Pakistan Rangers initiated unprovoked firing on BSF posts in the Jammu sector. In a measured and proportionate response, the BSF targeted and destroyed a terrorist launch pad located in Looni, Sialkot district, opposite the Akhnoor area of Jammu. The BSF confirmed the complete destruction of the launch pad, emphasizing its commitment to safeguarding India’s sovereignty.
India-Pakistan Live Updates: Tensions Flare Up Along the Border
The destruction of the terrorist launch pad has led to heightened tensions along the India-Pakistan border. Multiple explosions were reported in Indian cities, including Jammu, Srinagar, and Udhampur. The Indian Army has observed Pakistani forces moving troops towards forward areas, indicating a potential escalation. India remains on high alert, with armed forces prepared to respond to any further provocations.
Ceasefire Violations on the Rise from Pakistan’s Side
Pakistan has been accused of repeatedly violating the ceasefire agreement along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border. These violations include unprovoked firing and the use of drones and loitering munitions targeting Indian military and civilian infrastructure. India has effectively repelled these attacks and has given a befitting response to maintain peace and security in the region.
BSF Retaliation Strike a Response to Infiltration Attempts
The BSF’s retaliation was not only a response to ceasefire violations but also to thwart infiltration attempts by terrorists. On May 8, 2025, the BSF successfully foiled a major infiltration bid by terrorists in the Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir. Such attempts underscore the persistent threat posed by cross-border terrorism, necessitating vigilant and proactive measures by Indian security forces.
Indo-Pak Border Tensions Escalate Post-Strike
Following the BSF’s strike, Pakistan has reportedly launched a military operation named “Bunyan Un Marsoor” (Operation Molten Lava) against India. Pakistan claims that Indian jets attacked three of its airbases with missiles, although it did not provide detailed evidence. The Indian military has dismissed these claims as misinformation and continues to monitor the situation closely.
Security Forces on High Alert Across Jammu and Kashmir
In light of the escalating tensions, Indian security forces across Jammu and Kashmir have been placed on high alert. Additional troops have been deployed to sensitive areas, and surveillance has been intensified to detect and prevent any further infiltration attempts or attacks. The government has also urged civilians in border areas to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
The destruction of the terrorist launch pad in Sialkot’s Looni sector by the BSF marks a significant development in the ongoing Indo-Pak border tensions. India’s firm stance against cross-border terrorism and its commitment to protecting national sovereignty remain unwavering. As the situation continues to evolve, both nations face mounting pressure from the international community to de-escalate and engage in constructive dialogue to ensure regional stability.
