A target rich environment. They have lots of toys. Mobile missile launchers are hard to find, though, especially at night. Probably a significant number of these missiles could be successfully launched in case of attack, which they expect will come during the night to begin with.

Question is, are these fitted with conventional or nuclear warheads? It could be that Pakistan is spreading its forces to forward locations to reduce to risk of an Indian pre-emptive air strike on the missile bases where these could normally be concentrated.

If India has eyes on the ground, it's a slightly different story.
