This encounter comes just a day after the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam, Anantnag, where terrorists targeted tourists, killing and injuring several civilians. The attack has triggered widespread anger and condemnation across the country and has prompted heightened security measures in sensitive areas of Jammu and Kashmir. In the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, security forces launched search operations across various parts of the region. Streets in once-busy tourist zones have fallen silent, with several tourists deciding to cut their visits short due to the tense atmosphere. Authorities have intensified surveillance and movement checks in vulnerable areas.
