Security forces carried out coordinated raids in Srinagar, Kupwara, Anantnag, Pulwama and Budgam as part of a probe into a cross‑border terror conspiracy.
Police and intelligence agencies launched simultaneous searches across five districts of Jammu and Kashmir – Srinagar, Kupwara, Anantnag, Pulwama and Budgam – on Thursday. The operations were aimed at dismantling a network suspected of collaborating with foreign elements to carry out terrorist activities against India.
According to official statements, teams from the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the National Investigation Agency and the Army’s Counter‑Insurgency units entered designated locations, including suspected hideouts, safe houses and communication hubs. The raids were timed to prevent any warning to the alleged conspirators.
Preliminary reports indicate that several premises were sealed and a number of individuals were taken into custody for questioning. No casualties or major public disruption were reported during the searches.
Authorities said the investigation is ongoing and that further actions will be taken based on the evidence gathered. The coordinated effort underscores the heightened vigilance of security agencies against cross‑border terror threats in the region.
