India / Pakistan (Security threat levels – 3 / 5): On 26 February 2019, Indian military aircraft carried out airstrikes that targeted a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) militant training camp near the town of Balakot in the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Indian Foreign Ministry stated that the airstrikes killed “a very large number” of militants and avoided civilian casualties. The ministry also stated that the action was carried out to prevent “imminent” suicide attacks in India. Pakistani officials have denied any casualties and have condemned the attack. The airstrikes were the first to be launched across the Line of Control (LoC) — the de facto border that divides India-administered Kashmir and Pakistan-administered Kashmir — since 1971. The strikes occurred after JeM claimed responsibility for a 14 February suicide attack in Indian-administered Kashmir in which more than 40 Indian troops were killed.
