The BSF destroyed a terrorist launch pad in Pakistan's Sialkot district as retaliation for unprovoked firing by Pakistan Rangers.

The action was a calibrated 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.
