A National Investigation Agency (NIA) report state that at least 33 alleged Pakistani terrorists have crossed into India from the Punjab and Samba-Kathua sectors in Jammu &Kashmir since October 2017, reports The Print on February 7.

The Over Ground Workers (OGW) of terrorists help them with travel, stay and other logistics. Following the interrogation of two modules of arrested alleged OGWs, it was found that five terrorists had crossed over on the night 23-24 October 2017.

They may be very good at getting the cyber data etc., but the cyber offensive and defensive capability are still being questioned’. He also added that ‘The kind of funding, the number of people who are working on this (cyber) are phenomenal. I mean, half the defence budget of India is actually the cyber budget for China. They will catch up at some point of time.’ Stating that the PLA is still evolving as a force, Narasimhan said, "Their command and control structure has totally undergone a change. The organisational structures have undergone a total change. And for a large-sized army like this, to do everything in a churn, it is not a very easy thing to do. They have themselves come out in the open and said they have something known as two incapabilities etc. What it clearly implies is that the command channel as well as the officer’s cadre are at this point of time still evolving and they are not capable of comprehending the operational situation, they are not capable of employing the troops correctly.’

Six days after the Pulwama suicide bombing, in which 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on February 20 filed a FIR (First Information Report) “naming Maulana Masood Azhar-led Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM)” for the conspiracy, reports The Times of India.Sources said they already have sufficient primary evidence, including a video through which Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility, pattern of Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attacks, names of people who executed the blast and details linking the bomb to Pakistan and JeM.The agency is planning to mount pressure on Pakistan through international agencies like Interpol to arrest Azhar since red notices have been issued against him in the past for attacks on the Pathankot IAF base, Parliament and J&K assembly. Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency have so far refused to honour these notices. Government officials said that the matter would be raised with Interpol’s headquarters since Pakistan is also a member of the international body, but has refused to arrest any wanted designated terrorist against whom red notice has been issued — be it Azhar, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) chief Syed Salahuddin, Abdul Rauf Asghar or D company boss Dawood Ibrahim. In fact, these people roam freely in the country along with security cover provided by the Pakistan Government. Agencies already have a dossier on JeM, which includes its sympathisers, overground workers (OGW), known hideouts of cadres, madrasas from where the outfit gets support in Kashmir and other parts of the country.Sources said all those linked to the outfit are being located while some have already been questioned in the last few days. A search is on for one of JeM’s local recruits in the Valley — Muddassir Ahmad Khan — who played a key role in the attack.

Though there was no official confirmation on the number of the militants killed in Indian air raids in Pakistan, sources said over 350 terrorists of JeM including 25 ‘top commanders’ have been eliminated in the attack on Balakote camp in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Besides top Jaish commanders, militants, a number of trainers, who generally comprised ex-servicemen of Pakistan army and under-training militants, were among those killed inside the camp. The camp, which was located on a hilltop forest, hit the militants and their trainers in their sleep, eliminating majority of those, who were present there. Going by intensity of the pounding of the camp by the IAF jets, there was no scope of anyone surviving there, sources said. At least 325 militants and 25 to 27 trainers were at the camp and all of them were killed, they added. Some of the top militants reportedly killed in the attack included Moulana Yousuf Azhar alias Gauri Ustaad, brother-in-law of Masood Azhar and Incharge of the camp, Ibrahim Azhar, elder brother of Masood Azhar, who was also involved in Indian Airlines Flight-814 hijacking in Kandahar after which three terrorists including Moulana Masood Azhar were released from jails, Mufti Azhar Khan Kashmiri, head of ‘Kashmir Operations’, Maulana Ammar, head of ‘Afghan Operations’ and Maulana Talha Saif, brother of Masood Azhar and Incharge Fidayeen Squad. While about 200 to 250 militants used to stay in JeM’s Balakote camp, sources said, 100 to 150 others had recently been shifted there from terror camps running in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) by the Pakistan army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) besides the militant commanders as they feared that India might strike at the terror camps in PoK especially those located close to the LoC. Later, describing the strikes as ‘pre-emptive’, Indian authorities said there had been very specific and credible inputs available with Indian Security Forces (SFs) and Intelligence agencies that fresh group of seven fidayeen (suicide squad) were being trained at the camp to be launched in Jammu and Kashmir for more suicide bombings like Pulwama attack. The fidayeen being trained for the attack have been neutralized inside the camp. It described the operation as “non-military” and “pre-emptive” saying no military or civilian installations were targeted inside Pakistan and it was only the terror camp of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), which was hit with accurate strike. Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said that “intelligence-led operation” on the Pakistan-based terror group’s biggest training camp in Balakote became “absolutely necessary” as it was planning more suicide attacks in India.
