Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district successfully neutralised a potential terrorist shelter by demolishing a cave in a remote forested region. Intelligence inputs suggested the cave had been used by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists as a hideout and staging point for operations in the area. Acting swiftly, forces reached the location and used controlled explosives to destroy the site, ensuring it could not be repurposed in the future. The operation is part of an intensified security strategy to deny terrorists safe havens in the Union Territory. Officials highlighted that such actions not only dismantle existing terror infrastructure but also act as a deterrent against future infiltration and militant activities. The move has been welcomed by locals, who see it as a crucial step towards long-term peace and security in Kishtwar.
