In a quick and measured reaction to the recent terror strike in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, the Indian Army has initiated targeted attacks across the Line of Control (LoC) with Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs). The attacks, defence sources said on Friday, destroyed several Pakistani military outposts, escalating an already tense border situation.

WHY THE RETALIATION WAS SWIFT AND PRECISE The Army deployment of ATGMs followed a matter of days after 26 civilians were butchered in one of the worst Kashmir attacks in more than two decades. The airstrikes are being conducted as part of an ongoing operational campaign. The strike included air attacks under Operation Sindoor that bombed terror camps across Pakistan and Pok. Official sources also attested to the fact that India successfully downed more than 50 drones en route to sensitive military installations at Jammu, Pathankot, and Udhampur.
