- Spy agencies decode India’s secret communications: sources.
Intelligence agencies have uncovered India’s plan to conduct a false flag operation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) involving Pakistani prisoners to create tension along the border, security sources said on Monday.
The revelations emerged after intelligence agencies decoded India’s secret communications indicating a plan to use Pakistani prisoners in a staged incident aimed at blaming Pakistan, they added.
The plan was to free Pakistani prisoners and move them towards border areas in IIOJK where they could be used to stage an incident.
The aim, sources said, was to attribute a larger action to Pakistan and justify escalation along the Pakistan-India border.
They added that such a move could be used to engage Pakistan’s armed forces along the eastern border.
Pakistan and India went to war in May last year after India launched an unprovoked attack on Pakistan following the attack on tourists in IIOJK.
New Delhi claimed the terrorists who killed 26 tourists in IIOJK’s Pahalgam were Pakistanis – a charge Islamabad has denied and has also asked India to join a neutral investigation.
India followed the baseless accusations with illegal missile strikes inside Pakistan, which resulted in the martyrdom of several civilians and security personnel.
Pakistan responded by downing seven Indian fighter jets, including three Rafales, dozens of drones and destroying an S-400 defense system.
In addition to shooting down several Indian fighter jets, security forces launched a retaliatory strike, targeting over 20 Indian military sites across multiple regions.
The war between the two nuclear-armed nations ended on May 10 with a cease-fire agreement brokered by the United States.
