2016 Nagrota army base attack

The 2016 Nagrota Army Base attack refers to a militant assault that occurred on November 29, 2016, at the Indian Army's Nagrota cantonment located near Jammu, India. The attack was carried out by armed militants believed to be linked to Pakistan-based terrorist organizations. The assailants targeted the brigade headquarters, resulting in the deaths of seven Indian soldiers, including two officers. In response, the Indian Armed Forces conducted retaliatory measures aimed at neutralizing terrorist threats along the Line of Control. This incident heightened tensions between India and Pakistan and raised concerns regarding the security of military installations in the region, prompting discussions on counter-terrorism strategies and military preparedness.
