2016 attacks on India

The 2016 attacks on India refer to a series of significant terrorist incidents that highlighted the ongoing security challenges faced by the nation. Notably, the Uri attack on September 18 resulted in the deaths of 19 Indian Army soldiers, marking one of the deadliest assaults on military personnel in recent years. This incident was attributed to militant groups operating from Pakistan, which escalated tensions between the two nations. In response, India conducted surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LoC) on September 29, targeting terrorist launch pads. The year also saw increasing incidents of violence in Jammu and Kashmir, further complicating the region's geopolitical landscape. These events underscored India’s ongoing struggle against terrorism and underscored the need for robust security measures.
