line of control

WORLD MUSEUM DAY

Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district is under a massive security sweep following a foiled infiltration bid. Forces are conducting extensive searches across multiple locations after an intruder was neutralized near the line of control. Heightened security measures, including stringent vehicle checks, are in place amid unconfirmed reports of a high-profile foreign terrorist presence.

Pakistan has made a bizarre claim of hitting two non-existent airbases, Rajouri and Mamun, during their counter-action "Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos." This follows India's strong retaliatory action last year, where all Pakistani missiles and drone swarms were intercepted and destroyed by India's air defence.

Ukraine is at the forefront of a military upheaval, unleashing a fleet of Unmanned Ground Vehicles, such as cutting-edge combat cyborgs and self-destructing attack machines, which are key to keeping troops safe on the front lines. By assigning perilous missions to these tenacious robots, soldiers can concentrate on more aggressive tactics.

Army troops foiled an infiltration attempt in Poonch's Krishna Ghati sector on Tuesday, neutralizing one terrorist approximately 300 meters inside the Indian side of the line of control. This incident follows several other thwarted infiltration bids in the Jammu region in recent months, highlighting ongoing vigilance along the LoC.

India's elite Special Forces, across Army, Navy, and Air Force, have consistently demonstrated exceptional prowess in diverse covert and overt operations. From daring cross-border raids in Pakistan and Myanmar to critical hostage rescues in Sierra Leone and counter-terror missions in Jammu and Kashmir, these highly trained units showcase unwavering courage, precision, and strategic impact, safeguarding national interests and deterring adversaries.

Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir stated India sought US mediation for a ceasefire after Operation Sindoor. This claim contrasts with US lobbying records. These documents reveal Pakistan's extensive engagement with American officials during the same period. India launched Operation Sindoor following a terror attack. The operation targeted terror infrastructure.

China has for the first time publicly acknowledged providing on-ground technical assistance to Pakistan during India's Operation Sindoor last year. Chinese engineers from AVIC's Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute were involved in ensuring Pakistani aircraft operated at full combat capability. This marks the first official indication of direct Chinese personnel involvement in supporting Pakistani military operations during the conflict.

Following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir, India launched precision strikes on militant camps in Pakistan, escalating tensions to a full military standoff. Despite Pakistan's nuclear threats, India maintained a strong stance, ultimately leading to a ceasefire after significant damage to Pakistani military assets.

India's ambitious military reforms, creating integrated theatre commands, face a critical leadership gap. The nation's vast armed forces are led by a disproportionately small number of four-star generals compared to global peers. This deficit risks undermining the effectiveness of new theatre commands, demanding a strategic increase in senior leadership to match evolving responsibilities and complex security challenges.

A year after a devastating terror attack claimed 26 lives in Pahalgam, the valley grapples with lingering fear and a fractured tourism economy. India responded with Operation Sindoor, a cross-border military action, and extensive diplomatic efforts. While security has been bolstered, the region's recovery remains fragile, with businesses and residents still navigating the profound impact of the violence.

Counter Intelligence Kashmir busted a terror recruitment module with links to handlers across the LoC and Bangladesh. Raids across three districts yielded incriminating materials. A Bangladesh-based LeT operative, Shabir Ahmad Lone, allegedly coordinated recruitment and network expansion, operating as a most wanted terrorist from abroad. An associate was previously arrested.

The delivery of the first batch of the 7.62 mm-calibre weapon, manufactured at the company’s small arms complex on the outskirts of Gwalior, was completed in seven months well ahead of the contracted schedule. The company spokesperson said the total order for the LMGs stands at around 40,000. The LMG weighs 8 kg and is 1,100 mm long and it has an effective range of 1,000 m, according to the company’s data. Prahar has a rate of fire of 600–750 rounds per minute.

Pakistani troops violated ceasefire along the line of control in Uri Sector of Kashmir but no damage was reported in the incident, Army said on Tuesday. There were no reports of any damage in the Pakistani firing.

India has told Pakistan, including at the highest level, to uphold the sanctity of the line of control and abide by the ceasefire commitment of 2003 along the International Border and LoC.

"balloon, bearing the inscription 'PIA', was discovered in a field near Johiyawali village, falling under the jurisdiction of the Jaitsar Police Station in Sri Ganganagar. The balloon has been secured at the concerned police station, and the relevant agencies have been contacted. Further action is currently underway," Sri Ganganagar SP Hari Shankar told ANI.

An army jawan sustained critical injuries when he inadvertently stepped on a landmine along the line of control (LoC) in the border district of Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir.

Pakistan on Monday claimed that at least two of its citizens were killed and three others injured in alleged firing by Indian soldiers from across the line of control (LoC).

Shifting focus from the line of control (LoC) in Poonch, Pakistan troops in fresh ceasefire violation targeted forward posts of Border Security Force along the International Border in Samba district in this winter capital of the state.
