Pakistan hand in Jammu’s rising terror: Experts warn of elite trained fighters
Recent terrorist attacks in the Jammu region have raised alarms about the possible involvement of highly skilled operatives, potentially including former Pakistan Army Special Service Group (SSG) soldiers or exceptionally trained terrorists.
Intelligence reports suggest that the sophisticated nature of these attacks points to a level of expertise beyond that of ordinary militants.
The use of advanced weaponry, such as M-4 carbines and Chinese steel core bullets, has been a significant indicator of the attackers’ training and resources. These arms were first noted in an ambush in Poonch in April 2023, and their continued use in recent attacks in Jammu reinforces the suspicion that the assailants are not typical insurgents.
Former Director General of Police (DGP) Dr. SP Vaid has underscored the severe threat posed by these groups, speculating that they might be receiving guidance or support from Pakistan Army regulars. The sophisticated tactics employed during the attacks in Jammu’s Rajouri-Poonch sector further suggest that these are not mere militant factions but potentially organized, highly-trained entities.
The recent surge in sophisticated terrorist activities in Jammu is being viewed by analysts as part of Pakistan’s broader K2 strategy—Kashmir and Khalistan. This strategy aims to destabilize India by fomenting unrest in both Kashmir and Punjab, thereby stretching Indian security resources and sowing discord. By deploying highly trained operatives and advanced weaponry, these attacks align with Pakistan’s strategic objectives to undermine regional stability and exacerbate internal conflicts.
In response to the escalating violence, the Indian Army has intensified its presence in the affected areas and is reassessing its counter-terrorism strategies. The increased military deployment and strategic adjustments reflect the gravity of the threat and the need for a more robust defense mechanism.
As the situation develops, security forces and intelligence agencies are working tirelessly to address the emerging threat and safeguard the region from further violence.
