NEW DELHI: Pakistan-sponsored terror outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) are relocating their bases from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) following the precision strikes under Operation Sindoor earlier this year.

Tactical Move After Operation Sindoor

The relocation comes after Indian strikes on May 7 destroyed multiple terror hubs in PoK, including facilities linked to the leadership of JeM. PoK is now seen as vulnerable to further operations, prompting both groups to seek refuge deeper inside Pakistan.

KPK offers a more secure environment with its mountainous terrain, proximity to Afghanistan, and a legacy of jihadi infrastructure dating back to the Afghan war.
