Cross-border tensions in Jammu and Kashmir have ignited fear, prompting workers from other Indian states, particularly those in Samba, to move to safer areas following recent skirmishes. The workers, mainly from Chhattisgarh, expressed anxiety over their safety amid the escalating violence.
The Border Security Force (BSF) successfully thwarted a major infiltration attempt along the International Boundary in Samba. The security operation, which occurred between May 8 and 9, resulted in the elimination of at least seven terrorists. These individuals attempted to breach Indian land under the protective fire of Pakistan Rangers from the Dhandhar post.
Amidst retaliatory action by the BSF, the Pakistani post sustained significant damage. The operation follows high-level security assessments by Home Minister Amit Shah and discussions regarding border preparedness, as India had previously launched "Operation Sindoor" targeting terrorist infrastructure in response to a deadly attack in Pahalgam.
