In the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, which destroyed at least nine major terrorist hubs in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), a senior Indian intelligence official has confirmed the deliberate relocation of Pakistan-sponsored terror groups into Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province.A dossier prepared with inputs from various central intelligence agencies said that primarily Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) have begun shifting their infrastructure out of PoK, which is now viewed as highly vulnerable to Indian precision strikes.
