Pahalgam Terror Attack Live Updates : Indian Army and Assam Rifles formation under Spear Corps launched intelligence-based operations in the hill and valley districts of Kakching, Tengnoupal, Bishnupur and  Kangpokpi between 27th April-4th May  in coordination with Manipur Police, CRPF, BSF, and ITBP.

The operations resulted in apprehension of 17 cadres from the hill and valley-based groups and recovery of 31 weapons, 14 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), grenades, ammunition and war-like stores.  

A major revelation has emerged in the investigation of the recent Pahalgam terror attack. Interrogations of Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives in Jammu and Kashmir jails have revealed that the terrorists involved had received military-style training similar to Pakistan’s Special Service Group (SSG) commandos. Intelligence sources indicate that 15-20 such highly trained commanders are currently active in the Kashmir Valley, leading small units of foreign terrorists.

This development underscores Pakistan's ISI strategy to inflict heavy damage on Indian security forces. Notably, the involvement of SSG-trained individuals has been linked to three major attacks: the civilian massacre in Gagangir, Ganderbal; the deadly ambush on an army convoy in Boota Pathri; and the recent Pahalgam strike.

In a major breakthrough, the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Poonch and the Indian Army have foiled a major terror plot by busting a hideout in the forests of Surankote. During the joint operation, security forces recovered five improvised explosive devices (IEDs), including three concealed in tiffin boxes and two in steel buckets. In addition to the explosives, several communication devices and other materials were also seized from the hideout, dealing a significant blow to the terror group's plans to carry out IED attacks in the region.
