Just days earlier, security forces uncovered a sophisticated terror base in Kishtwar’s Chhatru forests during a 25-day operation. Believed to be used by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), the hideout was stocked with food, religious texts, GPS devices, solar panels, and even Wi-Fi, showcasing the group’s advanced planning and resources.
The two incidents highlight the continued threat of terrorism in Kashmir and the growing technological edge of groups like JeM.
