Ten Years Since 2016 Uri Attack, India’s Surgical Strikes and Evolving Security
Ten years after the 2016 Uri terror attack that killed 18-19 Indian soldiers, India conducted cross-Line of Control surgical strikes targeting terrorist launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes, publicly acknowledged for the first time, aimed to prevent further infiltrations and were described as causing significant terrorist casualties. Military officials and leaders, including Lt Gen D.S. Hooda and Prime Minister Modi, have reflected on the operation's planning, execution, and evolving counter-terrorism strategies. The security situation in Jammu and Kashmir has since shifted, with militant activity becoming more dispersed and concentrated in Jammu.
