Echoes of 'Sindoor': Threats, Drones, and Pakistan's Strategic Strain with India
- •An alleged audio clip of Masood Azhar, Jaish-e-Mohammed leader, threatens India with "thousands" of suicide bombers, reigniting terror concerns.
- •The threat follows India's 'Operation Sindoor' against terror infrastructure and is seen as propaganda to project resilience after JeM losses.
- •Reports of drones near the LoC and International Border indicate persistent low-intensity friction and grey-zone tactics, demanding enhanced vigilance from India.
- •Pakistan faces severe internal security challenges from Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), creating a "three-body problem."
- •Escalation with India would strain Pakistan's military, economy, and governance, risking systemic instability and international repercussions.
