Pakistani training camps shifted deeper into crowded areas post surgical strikes by Indian Army

A Home Ministry internal report says that terror training camps in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) have been shifted deeper inside the Pakistani territory after the surgical strikes.

This comes in the aftermath of the surgical strikes carried out by the Indian Army on Thursday across the LoC in which seven terrorist launch pads were destroyed.

Central security agencies have informed the Home Ministry that at least 12 terror camps belonging to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Hizbul Mujahideen and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) have been shifted from Muzaffarabad in PoK to various areas like Mansehra (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), Naushehra and Jhelum (both in Pakistan’s Punjab). These camps house around 500 armed militants.

Sources say that many many terror camps have been vacated and shifted near crowded towns deep inside Pakistan. In these terror camps militants are trained to launch attacks against India with the help of Pakistan Army and the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). This report was prepared using satellite images, ground reports and inputs from western intelligence agencies.
