Indian intelligence agencies have obtained conclusive satellite evidence of a major Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist training camp in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, directly linking it to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. The high-resolution images reveal the ‘Jangal Mangal Camp’ located in Atar Sisa, Mansehra district, with disturbing details about its operations and infrastructure.
The camp features dedicated living quarters, a mosque, meeting halls, and extensive training grounds designed specifically for foreign militants. Most alarmingly, the images show a Pakistani military establishment adjacent to the facility, suggesting active collaboration between LeT and Pakistan’s armed forces. Intelligence sources confirm the camp has been operational for years, serving as a launchpad for cross-border terrorism.

A large open area within the compound appears to be used for weapons training and combat drills. Security analysts note the camp’s strategic location near the Line of Control enables quick infiltration into Jammu and Kashmir. The facility also hosts regular meetings between LeT commanders and Pakistan’s ISI operatives at its Fagla BR section, with LeT chief Hafiz Saeed reportedly attending these sessions.
The Pahalgam attack, claimed by the Lashkar proxy group TRF, showed clear signatures of training received at such camps. Victims included tourists from eight Indian states and one Nepalese national, along with a local pony guide who died protecting visitors. Forensic analysis of the attack pattern matches known LeT operational tactics perfected at these PoK facilities.
Indian security forces have intensified surveillance along the border following these revelations. The government is preparing to present the evidence to international bodies, highlighting Pakistan’s continued support for anti-India terror groups despite its FATF commitments. Military experts suggest the camp’s exposure may prompt Pakistan to temporarily scale back operations, but warn the infrastructure will likely remain for future use.

This development comes amid growing global concern about Pakistan’s role in regional terrorism. The satellite proof provides irrefutable evidence of state-sponsored terror infrastructure operating with military protection, complicating Islamabad’s denials. Security agencies continue monitoring the camp for any changes in activity following its exposure.
The Indian Army has reportedly adjusted counter-infiltration measures along the LoC based on these findings. Intelligence inputs suggest similar camps exist across PoK, though Jangal Mangal appears particularly active in training terrorists for high-profile attacks in Kashmir.
As investigations continue, security forces remain on high alert across Jammu and Kashmir, anticipating possible retaliation attempts by the terror network. The evidence has strengthened India’s case against Pakistan at international forums while providing crucial leads in the Pahalgam attack investigation.
