Pakistani Armed Forces on High Combat Readiness

The Pakistani armed forces have been placed on high combat readiness as India announced military operations in Kashmir. This is reported by Indian media.

Earlier, India's police and military had announced that a military operation to eliminate separatists was starting in southern Kashmir. According to Indian media, police have shot and killed a Pakistani terrorist and a soldier of the "Jaish-e-Mohammad" group, an Islamist terrorist organization active in Kashmir.

Kashmir is a disputed region between India and Pakistan. There is no formal state border in Kashmir, and the area is divided by a line of control. In the Indian-administered part of Kashmir, groups advocating for independence from the country operate actively.
