In another major breakthrough against terrorism in the valley, security forces have successfully neutralized a high-ranking Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba commander in a fierce encounter in the Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir. According to inputs gathered by our ground reports, the operation, codenamed 'Operation Ashdar', was launched in the rugged and high-altitude terrains of Yusmarg.
Most Wanted Hiding in Yusmarg Heights
Intelligence reports indicated the presence of foreign terrorists hiding deep inside the dense forests of Yusmarg. The joint team comprising the Army, Jammu-Kashmir Police's SOG, and CRPF launched a meticulous cordon-and-search operation, which soon turned into a gunbattle as the holed-up terrorists opened fire.
Who Was Commander Musa?
The slain terrorist has been identified as a Pakistani national, Suleiman Shah alias Musa (also referred to as Yasir). He was a most-wanted commander orchestrating terror modules in central Kashmir, making his elimination a severe blow to LeT's operational capabilities in the region.
The Message: You Can Run, But You Can't Hide
With 'Operation Ashdar', security forces have once again demonstrated unmatched tactical precision. Search operations continue in the surrounding sectors to sanitize the entire area completely.
