Five Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), two radio sets, communication devices, three blankets, and other incriminating materials were recovered and seized from the site. The recovered IEDs were found concealed in tiffin boxes and steel buckets, media reports said.
Authorities have launched large-scale counter-terror operations throughout the Valley, raiding suspected hideouts, demolishing shelters used by terrorists, and detaining hundreds of terror associates for questioning, senior officials said.
Meanwhile, Pakistan continued its “unprovoked” firing across the Line of Control in Poonch and other sectors last night.
“During the night of 04 -05 May 2025, Pakistan Army posts resorted to unprovoked small arms fire across the LoC in areas opposite Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajouri, Mendhar, Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor in J&K. Indian Army responded promptly and proportionately,” the Indian Army said in a statement.
This was the 11th straight day that Pakistan violated the ceasefire across the Line of Control.
What Happened In Pahalgam?
In one of the biggest attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, Lashkar-linked terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday, April 22, killing at least 26 people, including foreign tourists, and injuring many others. The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar offshoot, claimed responsibility for the attack, although it later backtracked after massive global outrage.
After the attack, the diplomatic ties between India and Pakistan were downgraded with New Delhi announcing several punitive measures, including suspension of Indus Water Treaty, cutting Islamabad Mission strength, closing its airspace for Pakistani airlines and expulsion of its military attaches. In response, Pakistan undertook tit-for-tat measures and suspended the Shimla Agreement.
