2016 Indian Line of Control strike

The 2016 Indian Line of Control Strike refers to a series of surgical military operations conducted by the Indian Armed Forces across the Line of Control (LoC) in response to the Uri attack on September 18, 2016, which resulted in the deaths of 19 Indian soldiers. Following this incident, India claimed to have carried out surgical strikes on September 29, targeting militant launch pads in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The strikes aimed to neutralize terrorist threats emanating from the region. The operation marked a significant escalation in India-Pakistan military tensions and prompted widespread political and public discourse regarding national security and military strategy. The event remains a pivotal moment in contemporary Indo-Pak relations.
