Earlier this month, J&K police said they killed 6 terrorists associated with LeT, JeM in southern Kashmir. All 6 men were reported missing between April 2022 and October 2024.
Khalid was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Badin, Pakistan. He allegedly orchestrated attacks at IISc Bengaluru, RSS HQ Nagpur, and CRPF camp in Rampur.
The encounter began Tuesday morning after intel on presence of terrorists was received by security forces, following which the area was cordoned off and a search operation conducted.
Lashkar offshoot The Resistance Front claimed the Pahalgam attack in an online post before withdrawing the claim while attributing its initial post to a 'cyber attack'.
Pahalgam attack was designed to provoke communal tensions, he adds. Military strikes were aimed at bringing justice, dismantling terror infrastructure & preventing future attacks.
