Overview

• The Indian Air Force conducted a precision strike on May 7, 2025, targeting a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) communication hub in Sarjal, Shakargarh, Punjab, Pakistan.
• The destroyed facility, concealed within a civilian health center, housed a high-frequency (HF) communication setup critical for coordinating infiltrations into Jammu and Kashmir.
• The communication network relied on military-grade equipment, including LoRA Ultra Sets and Digital Mobile Radios, supplied by the Pakistani Army and ISI, with customization by Chinese manufacturers.
• The Pakistani military has bolstered telecom signals along the International Border and Line of Control, enabling infiltrators to use domestic telecom infrastructure and avoid detection.
• This operation, part of India's counter-terrorism efforts, aims to disrupt Jaish-e-Mohammad's command-and-control capabilities and sever links between handlers and infiltrators.
