Srinagar, Dec 26, 2023: Terrorists are using China-made weapons and communication devices to attack the Army in Jammu and Kashmir, sources have said. According to intelligence agency sources, JeM and Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist organisations are using Chinese weapons, bodysuit cameras, and communication devices to attack the Army.

 

Additionally, China is also sending drones, hand grenades, and other Chinese weapons to the Pakistan army, which have been used by terrorist groups in Jammu attacks, evidence of which has been found by the security forces in recent terror attacks, sources said.

Three major terror attacks have been carried out this year, revealing this nexus.

POONCH ATTACK

Five soldiers were killed and two injured after heavily-armed terrorists ambushed two Army vehicles in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Thursday.

In view of the terrorist attack, the Army is set to bring in more troops into Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch-Rajouri sector to address terrorist activities, according to sources. There is a plan to strengthen the counter-terrorist grid in the area by increasing troop strength, sources added.

Pakistan uses sniper guns made using Chinese technology against Indian soldiers during attempted infiltrations. One such attack was carried out in November where a sniper gun was used against an army soldier on the Jammu border. The images released by the terrorist organisation after the three major terror attacks this year were taken from Chinese-made body cameras and were also edited and morphed, sources claimed.

Encrypted messaging devices used by terrorists for communication are also Chinese, as revealed by intelligence agencies.

The Pakistani army regularly receives supplies of weapons, cameras, and communication devices from China, but instead of using them, it makes them available to terrorist organisations in PoK for infiltrations and terrorist attacks in India.

Meanwhile, China, frustrated by India’s heightened troop presence in Ladakh following the 2020 border stand-off in Galwan, wants to revive terrorist activity in Jammu and Kashmir to divert and pressure the Indian Army into redeploying troops from the Ladakh border back to Kashmir, according to sources.

Sources also informed that with China’s help, Pakistan is strengthening its cyber wing and wants to monitor covertly through Voice Over Internet Protocol. China is also funding the establishment of a separate information security lab for Pakistan for cyber warfare.

In recent months, China has been continuously supplying Pakistan with modern and high-tech weapons, which are often used by Jaish and Lashkar terrorists to target security forces in Kashmir via the Pakistani army.

However, the Indian security system has consistently thwarted China’s attempts over the past two years, giving a befitting reply to Pakistan and China on both the Jammu and Ladakh fronts.
