2015 Indian counter-insurgency operation in Myanmar

The 2015 Indian counter-insurgency operation in Myanmar, officially termed Operation Bamboo, was a significant military action carried out by the Indian Armed Forces in response to a deadly ambush on Indian soldiers by insurgent groups in the northeastern region of India. Following the attack on June 4, 2015, which resulted in the deaths of 18 soldiers, India conducted a precision strike across the border in Myanmar on June 9, targeting camps of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) and other militant organizations. This operation underscored India's proactive stance against cross-border terrorism and aimed to bolster regional security cooperation. The operation marked a pivotal moment in India's military strategy, reflecting a shift towards assertive engagement in counter-terrorism operations beyond its borders.
