Paks redeploy strategic units
Pakistan has redeployed its strategic units in the forward areas of the International Border and the Line of Control in Jammu and Poonch sectors. It has deployed medium range ballistic missiles batteries (MRBBs) in these sectors in an action that will further escalate tension. To counter this aggressive posturing, the Indian forces have accelerated mine-laying operations in many sectors. Villagers have started sending children and women to safer locations along with their valuables and household goods. Pakistani forces had engaged in heavy mortar and small arms fire all through the day and overnight. Indian security forces claimed they had killed 25 Pakistani soldiers in the last two days in retaliatory gunfire across the Kashmir border.
Pakistan is willing to go to war rather than clean up Lashkar-e-Taiba? That doesn't make any sense. What're we missing here?
