Security Forces Demolish Houses of LeT Terrorist Linked to Pahalgam Attack

On Thursday night, security forces carried out a significant operation in Jammu and Kashmir, where they demolished the house of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Asif Sheikh. Authorities suspect Sheikh’s involvement in the recent Pahalgam attack, a deadly assault that has raised security concerns in the region. The demolition was part of ongoing efforts to disrupt terrorist activities and hold those responsible for such attacks accountable.

However, news agency PTI reported a separate incident during the same period. According to their sources, a blast occurred that led to the destruction of the houses of two other LeT terrorists. The blast, which may have been triggered by explosives planted inside the buildings, has added complexity to the situation, raising concerns about further escalation and the presence of hidden threats in the area.

This sequence of events highlights the ongoing security operations aimed at dismantling terrorist networks in Jammu and Kashmir, with both direct action and the discovery of explosives playing a critical role in these efforts.
