New Delhi: India’s government has confirmed reports that Pakistan is moving its troops to forward areas along the border, marking the first significant build-up since the 1999 Kargil War. The development has raised concerns of escalating tensions, but Indian forces have assured that they are fully prepared and maintaining high alert along the border.
In a press briefing on Saturday, government officials addressed the recent military developments, confirming that Pakistan had launched attacks on 26 Indian military locations spread across four states. This aggressive move prompted immediate retaliation from India, which launched precision strikes on four key Pakistani airbases in a swift response to the cross-border provocations.
The government emphasized that despite the heightened threat posed by Pakistan’s troop movements and missile strikes, Indian forces remain vigilant and equipped to handle any further escalations. Indian military officials assured that the preparedness of the armed forces is at its peak, and all necessary measures are being taken to safeguard the nation’s security.
