Lashkar Commander Among Three Terrorists Killed in Jammu and Kashmir Encounters

Security forces successfully eliminated three terrorists in separate encounters across Jammu and Kashmir today, including a top commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The encounters began in the Halkan Gali area of Anantnag following an anti-terror operation launched by the security forces. Two terrorists were killed during this operation, marking a significant blow against militant activities in the region.

In a concurrent operation in Khanyar, one terrorist identified as Usman, alias Chota Walid, was gunned down. Walid was a notorious Lashkar commander hailing from Pakistan. However, the encounter in Khanyar also resulted in injuries to four police personnel who were engaged in the operation.

In response to the recent surge in terror-related incidents, the forces have initiated combing and search operations in the Bandipora area of Jammu and Kashmir to ensure the safety and security of residents.

These operations come on the heels of a terror attack that occurred just a day prior, where two migrant workers from Uttar Pradesh were shot at in the Budgam district. This attack is the fourth targeted incident against migrants in the Kashmir Valley within the last two weeks. The most deadly of these attacks took place on October 20, when seven individuals, including a local doctor and two workers from Bihar, were killed by terrorists at a tunnel construction site in Ganderbal district.

Farooq Abdullah, the leader of the National Conference, suggested that the increase in terror attacks might be aimed at destabilizing the recently formed government, headed by his son, Omar Abdullah, who took office as Chief Minister last month. Abdullah has called for an independent investigation into the matter.

Additionally, just last week, on October 29, security forces neutralized three terrorists responsible for an attack on an Army vehicle in the Akhnoor sector of Jammu and Kashmir. This operation lasted 27 hours, culminating in the early hours of the morning. Tragically, the Army also lost ‘Phantom’, a four-year-old assault dog from the elite K9 unit, who was injured while drawing enemy fire. The 16 Corps, known as the White Knight Corps, honored Phantom’s sacrifice, stating, “We salute the supreme sacrifice of our true hero, a valiant Indian Army dog.”
