After Operation Sindoor, about 60 terrorist launchpads in Pakistan were shifted to interior locations farther away from the border, the Border Security Forces (BSF) said on Saturday (November 29, 2025), vowing to inflict heavy losses on the enemy if the operation was relaunched.
“The BSF destroyed many terror launchpads along the border during Operation Sindoor. It forced the Pakistan government to shift all such facilities to the depth areas. About 12 launchpads are working from the depth areas of Sialkot and Zaffarwal, which are not exactly on the border. Around 60 launchpads are working in the other depth areas away from the border,” BSF Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Vikram Kunwar said.
The figures of launchpads and terrorists keep changing, Mr. Kunwar said. “These launchpads are generally active when terrorists have to be pushed [into India],” he added, addressing a press conference along with the BSF’s Inspector General for the Jammu Frontier, Shashank Anand, and DIG Kulwant Rai Sharma in Jammu.
‘Ready to inflict heavy losses’
The BSF officers said their personnel were honouring the halt in military action after four days of clashes from May 7 to 10. The force is ready to inflict heavy losses on the enemy if the government decides to resume the cross-border operation, they said.
Mr. Anand said the BSF was capable of causing more damage than was done during the May confrontation. “Whatever policy the government decides, the BSF will play its role in it,” he said.
After Operation Sindoor, it took Pakistan a lot of time to recover from the damages, the IG said. “In some locations, they have tried to strengthen their defence. But all of their activities are under our surveillance,” he added.
