Security Forces Uncover Militant Hideouts in Kashmir

Pakistani security forces conducted a raid in northwest Pakistan's Tirah district, resulting in the deaths of at least 10 insurgents from the outlawed Lashkar-e-Islam group during an hours-long shootout. Concurrently, insurgents attacked a police station in Bannu district, kidnapping seven officers, likely attributed to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). In South Kashmir's Shopian district, security forces uncovered a militant hideout in the Keller area, recovering cooking utensils and edible items during their search operation. Additionally, a significant operation in Churachandpur, Manipur, led to the dismantling of a United National Liberation Front (UNLF) hideout, where a large cache of arms and explosives was seized, marking a substantial setback for the group. This spate of operations highlights the ongoing challenges faced by security forces amid rising militant violence in both Pakistan and India.
