14 Terrorists’ Homes Demolished in Jammu and Kashmir

In an ongoing security sweep following the deadly Pahalgam attack on April 22, authorities have demolished the homes of 14 active terrorists linked to various militant groups. These actions are part of an intensified effort to dismantle the terror ecosystem in the region, with a focus on targeting members of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Hizbul Mujahideen. The demolitions have raised questions about the identities and affiliations of these terrorists, some of whom have been involved in terrorist activities for several years.

Security sweep after Pahalgam horror

These 14 individuals, whose properties were demolished by security forces, are all linked to major terrorist groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir. The demolitions are part of a broader crackdown on terrorism in the region, triggered by the deadly Pahalgam attack that left 26 people dead, including a Nepali citizen, and several others injured. Authorities have vowed to pursue those responsible for the attack, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledging to hunt down the perpetrators “to the ends of the earth.”
