On May 7, 2025, the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) destroyed a terrorist launchpad in Looni, Sialkot district, Pakistan, opposite Jammu’s Akhnoor sector. This action followed unprovoked firing by Pakistani troops along the International Border. The BSF responded by targeting the launchpad, causing significant damage to Pakistani border posts and assets. The BSF released video footage to support its claims. This incident occurred amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, with both nations experiencing civilian casualties due to recent hostilities. India has conducted precision strikes on identified military targets in response to Pakistani actions, while Pakistan has warned of retaliation if further aggression occurs. International actors, including the U.S., China, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, have urged restraint. Both countries have expressed willingness to de-escalate if the other reciprocates.
