Indian army seizes grenades and Pakistani mines in major anti-terror operation in Poonch district of J&K

A Pakistani militant base in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir was successfully destroyed by the Indian Army's Romeo Force on Oct 26, according to officials.

The Special Operations Group (SOG) police and the army completed the operation together.

As part of the operation, the army recovered two grenades and three Pakistani mines from the hideout, underscoring the continued threat in the area.

Authorities have increased their efforts in response to the previous attacks by conducting thorough search operations in Tangmarg and other locations around Jammu and Kashmir.

The Indian Army's initiative aims to uncover suspects linked to recent terror incidents in Gulmarg, Baramulla, and Gagangir in the Ganderbal District.

Two army soldiers and two civilian porters were killed in a terrorist attack on a military vehicle on Oct 24, making these military actions even more urgent.

Similarly, a previous incident on Oct 20 resulted in the deaths of a doctor and six construction workers at a tunnel site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway, raising severe concerns about the targeted nature of these attacks.

A group of laborers, including both locals and foreigners, was fired upon by the terrorists as they made their way back to their camp in Gund, Ganderbal.

Manoj Sinha, the lieutenant governor of Jammu and Kashmir, has ordered the police to bolster security around important infrastructure projects and construction camps in the union territory in response to these attacks.

Additionally, he has mandated night patrols, area dominance, the installation of 24-hour checkpoints at key locations, and a thorough security examination of infrastructure projects.

The Counter-Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) carried out a significant operation in six districts of Jammu and Kashmir, capturing recruiters associated with a terrorist organization.

The raids were conducted in the districts of Srinagar, Ganderbal, Pulwama, Anantnag, Budgam, and Kulgam, according to the counter-intelligence unit.

Officials reported that they were able to dismantle a recruitment module of the recently established terrorist group "Tehreek Labaik Ya Muslim" (TLM), which is allegedly a branch of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and was run by Baba Hamas, a terrorist handler from Pakistan.
