10 years after Uri, how India’s response to terror attacks shifted towards military retaliation
- The 2016 Uri terror attack killed 19 Indian soldiers and became a turning point in India’s response to cross-border terrorism.
- Days later, India announced surgical strikes on militant launch pads across the Line of Control in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
- The strikes marked a shift towards publicly acknowledged, targeted military retaliation after major terror attacks.
- India expanded this approach with the 2019 Balakot airstrike and later Operation Sindoor in 2025.
