Terrorists launched an attack on a military post in Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir, by throwing two grenades early Wednesday. One of the grenades exploded but caused no casualties. The explosion prompted a swift search operation, and the second grenade, with its pin removed, was later found.

Security forces have launched a targeted operation to track down the terrorists involved. According to sources, this attack is part of a broader pattern where terrorist groups, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), are attempting to activate local cells for a winter offensive. Intelligence reports had warned of increased activity, including recruitment drives, by these banned outfits before the harsh winter weather in the region.

Border security forces in Jammu are on high alert. A counter-terrorism operation is currently underway in the region, aimed at dismantling networks of Pakistan-backed terror groups and their support structures.

Recent Security Operations:

• Jammu and Kashmir Terror Attack: An army jawan was shot in the leg by terrorists in Tral, but remains stable after hospitalization.
• Srinagar Encounter: Security forces killed a terrorist in an encounter in Dachigam Forest, Srinagar.
• Pakistan Operations: Clashes between Pakistani security forces and terrorists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa resulted in the deaths of eight terrorists and two security personnel.

This ongoing counter-terrorism effort is crucial in maintaining peace and stability in the region, targeting militants involved in attacks on both civilians and security forces.
