Security forces busted a Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist hideout in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, during ongoing Operation Trashi-I. The search operation uncovered substantial winter supplies including rations, ghee, utensils, gas cylinders, and stoves near the gunfight site. Officials confirmed the hideout was spacious enough to accommodate multiple people and stocked with provisions for winter months. This discovery follows Sunday's encounter between security forces and terrorists that claimed the life of one paratrooper. The operation continues as forces track down remaining militants in the Kishtwar district. The recovery highlights the terrorists' preparation for extended stays in the region, with authorities intensifying efforts to neutralize remaining threats and dismantle terror infrastructure.
