In a decisive operation against terrorism, authorities have demolished the homes of suspected terrorists in the Kashmir Valley, officials confirmed. The crackdown follows the Pahalgam attack, where 26 people lost their lives.

The houses in Pulwama, Shopian, and Kulgam were razed late Friday night. Among them was Ahsan ul Haq Sheikh's home in Pulwama; he was trained in Pakistan in 2018 and infiltrated the Valley recently.

Other sites linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives in Shopian and Kulgam were also destroyed. Security forces had earlier evacuated surrounding areas after explosives were found while searching homes of accused individuals linked to the Pahalgam attack.
