Pakistan relocates terror launchpads inland after India’s Operation Sindoor following the April 2025 Pahalgam attack.

Pakistan has moved over 60 terror launchpads from border areas to deeper regions like Sialkot and Zaffarwal following India’s Operation Sindoor, triggered by the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam massacre. BSF officials report no active training camps near the border, with launchpads now used temporarily for infiltration planning. Terrorist groups are now operating in mixed units, replacing previous segregated zones. While military operations have paused since May 10, the BSF remains ready to resume action if ordered, citing improved capabilities and vigilance against evolving threats, including drones and narcotics smuggling.
