Pakistan-Backed Terror Groups Plan New J&K Attacks Six Months After Op Sindoor
Six months ago, India did a strong action called 'Operation Sindoor' that stopped some bad guys in a place called Jammu and Kashmir.
Now, new information shows that these bad guys, who get help from Pakistan's intelligence (ISI), are planning to cause trouble again.
They are trying to sneak into Jammu and Kashmir, using drones to spy on the borders, and possibly planning surprise attacks.
They are also trying to get their old helpers to work for them again and are looking for ways to make money through illegal drug and weapon sales.
This is happening even though things were starting to get peaceful there with elections and tourists returning.
India is watching very closely and is ready to defend itself if these groups try to attack.
Pakistan-backed terror groups, notably LeT and JeM, are planning new coordinated attacks in Jammu and Kashmir six months after India's Operation Sindoor.
Intelligence suggests increased infiltration, drone reconnaissance, and potential fidayeen assaults aided by Pakistan's SSG and ISI.
Plans include reviving dormant terror cells, re-establishing human intelligence networks, and expanding narco-terror and arms smuggling.
Pakistan aims to export instability, avenge losses from Operation Sindoor, and derail the return of normalcy in J&K amid its own crises.
Indian security agencies are on high alert, monitoring borders, and prepared to treat any terror acts as acts of war.
