Uri Attack: A Turning Point in India's Military Response
In 2016, terrorists attacked an Indian army camp in Uri, killing soldiers.
This attack was a significant event.
It led to India changing its strategy against terrorism.
India had previously avoided crossing the border but responded to this attack with surgical strikes across the Line of Control.
These strikes were a form of retaliation and demonstrated India's resolve to address the issue of terrorism.
The events following the attack have influenced India's military approach.
