Precision Strike Across the Border
In a significant escalation of hostilities along the Indo-Pak border, the Border Security Force (BSF) announced today that it has completely destroyed a suspected terrorist launchpad in Looni, a locality in Pakistan’s Sialkot sector. According to official sources, the operation was carried out in response to intensified cross-border infiltration attempts and intelligence reports confirming militant activity in the area.
‘Launchpad Neutralized with Accuracy’: BSF Statement
The BSF issued a detailed statement noting that the strike was “surgical and precise,” eliminating a major threat to border security. “Based on confirmed inputs, a terrorist launchpad at Looni in Sialkot was targeted and destroyed completely,” the statement read. The operation reportedly occurred during the early hours of Friday, May 10, using high-precision artillery and surveillance support.
Visuals Reveal Scale of Impact
Footage released shortly after the strike shows a massive plume of smoke and fire erupting from what is believed to be the launch site. The black-and-white thermal imaging appears to confirm a direct hit, though Pakistan has yet to issue an official response. Unverified social media accounts have shared similar visuals, indicating significant structural damage in the targeted zone.
Rising Tensions at the Border
This latest action marks one of the most intense periods of India-Pakistan tensions in recent years. Over the past week, security forces have reported multiple drone incursions and foiled infiltration bids along the Jammu, Punjab, and Rajasthan sectors. Indian intelligence agencies have also indicated that several sleeper cells were activated along the border, prompting heightened security alerts.
Diplomatic Fallout Likely
While the Indian government maintains that the strike was purely defensive and targeted at terror infrastructure, the development is likely to spark diplomatic backlash. Analysts anticipate heightened rhetoric and possibly retaliatory maneuvers in the days ahead unless de-escalation measures are urgently adopted.
Citizens Urged to Stay Vigilant
In light of recent events, authorities have advised residents in border areas to remain alert and avoid unnecessary movement in vulnerable zones. Emergency response teams and medical units have been deployed in key districts as a precaution.
