Pakistan Reconstructing Terror Launchpads Post-Operation Sindoor: Intelligence Reports
Pakistan is reportedly engaged in efforts to reconstruct and enhance terrorist launchpads and training facilities that were destroyed by the Indian Army in May's Operation Sindoor. This operation was a response to the fatal terror attack in Pahalgam and targeted nine significant terror sites associated with groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Hizbul Mujahideen in both Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
According to sources, the Pakistani Army, alongside its intelligence agency ISI and other governmental bodies, is heavily financing the rebuilding of these terror infrastructures. Reconstruction activities are reportedly underway in areas including Luni, Putwal, Taipu Post, Umranwali, Chaprar, and Forward Kahuta. These sites are believed to now host smaller, technologically advanced terror camps that are hidden within dense forests to evade detection.
The camps are reportedly being equipped with counter-surveillance technology meant to thwart thermal imaging, radar penetration, and satellite observation. Intelligence reports also suggest that at least 13 launchpads have been reactivated in PoK, including locations such as Kel, Shardi, Dudhniyal, Athmuqam, Leepa Valley, and Chakoti. Additionally, four launchpads are noted to be positioned along the International Border within the Jammu sector.
The ISI is allegedly employing a strategy to divide larger terror camps into smaller units to make them less vulnerable and mitigate damage in the event of future Indian military strikes. Each of these mini-camps is reportedly guarded by Pakistani Army personnel using thermal sensors, anti-drone technology, and low-frequency radar systems.
A recent meeting in Bahawalpur, attended by senior commanders of JeM, LeT, Hizbul Mujahideen, and The Resistance Front (TRF) along with ISI officials, is said to have reinforced Pakistan's resolve to revive its proxy war operations. TRF was responsible for the Pahalgam attack that resulted in the deaths of 26 people in April 2025.
India is vigilantly observing these developments, and officials have indicated that Pakistan's renewed support for cross-border terrorism could provoke a strong response if provocations persist.
