The attack comes within days of the army and J-K police eliminating five terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district.
On Wednesday, a meeting of top officers of the security agencies was held at the headquarters of the army’s 15 Corps in Srinagar. The role of foreign terrorists and the fallout of Israel-Hamas war on Kashmir were the big talking points at the meeting.
