In a significant escalation of anti-terror operations in Jammu and Kashmir, six terrorists, including three from Jaish-e-Mohammad, were killed in two encounters over 48 hours. Among the deceased was Shahid Kuttee, implicated in attacks on a German tourist and terror financing. The first operation occurred in Kelar's highlands on May 13, resulting in three militant deaths. The second unfolded in Tral, where terrorists had taken positions in civilian homes; security forces ensured civilian safety before neutralizing the threats. These operations follow the April Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 civilian lives, prompting India's strikes on terror infrastructures in Pakistan and PoK, and temporarily heightening Indo-Pak tensions. Authorities emphasize dismantling the terror ecosystem in the Valley.(PC: Deccan Herald & Rediff)
