Jammu, May 10 : In a decisive retaliatory action following unprovoked firing by Pakistan Rangers on Friday night, the Border Security Force (BSF) has confirmed the complete destruction of a terrorist launch pad located at Looni in Pakistan’s Sialkot district, opposite the Akhnoor area of Jammu.

The strike was part of a measured response to the ceasefire violation that began around 9 pm on Friday. “The terrorist launch pad at Looni was completely destroyed,” BSF said in a statement issued on Saturday, emphasising the force’s commitment to neutralising cross-border threats. This development marks a significant escalation in tensions along the International Boundary, even as Indian forces remain on high alert to ensure the nation’s security and sovereignty.

“On May 9, from about 2100 hrs, Pakistan initiated unprovoked firing on BSF posts in the Jammu Sector. BSF responded in a commensurate manner, causing widespread damage to the posts and assets of the Pakistan Rangers along the International Boundary. The terrorist launch pad at Looni, district Sialkot opposite Akhnoor area was completely destroyed by the BSF. Our resolve to protect India’s sovereignty is unshaken,” BSF mentioned in the statement. As per the officials, no casualties on the Indian side have been reported so far.
