Terror Hideout Found, 5 Bombs Recovered in J&K After Pahalgam Attack, Pakistan Fires Across LoC Again

5 Bombs Recovered in J&K After Pahalgam Attack: Just days after the tragic Pahalgam massacre that took the lives of 26 innocent civilians, a major breakthrough has come from Jammu and Kashmir. Security forces have busted a terrorist hideout in Poonch district and recovered five powerful IED bombs, wireless sets, and other items. Below is a full report on the situation and the fresh firing from Pakistan across the Line of Control.

All You Need to Know

• A terror hideout was found in Surankot, Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
• Five Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), wireless sets, and clothes were recovered.
• The operation was carried out by the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police.
• Pakistan began “unprovoked” firing across multiple sectors of the LoC soon after.
• It marks the 11th consecutive day of ceasefire violation by Pakistan.
• India has already suspended diplomatic and trade ties with Pakistan post the Pahalgam attack.

What was Found in the Hideout

During the joint search operation by the Army, J&K Police, and the Special Operations Group (SOG), security forces uncovered five deadly IED bombs. Along with that, wireless communication sets, clothes, and blankets were also found. This suggests the hideout was recently used, and a large-scale terror plan was possibly in motion.

Pakistan Opens Fire Again After Hideout Bust

Barely hours after this hideout was uncovered, the Pakistan Army began firing across the LoC in several regions including Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajouri, Mendhar, Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor. The Indian Army confirmed that the firing was unprovoked and responded “promptly and proportionately”. This is now the 11th day in a row that Pakistan has violated the ceasefire agreement.

Security Tightened Across J&K

Following the Pahalgam terror attack, security forces across Jammu and Kashmir have gone into full alert mode. More checkpoints have been set up along highways and near sensitive areas. Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs) have been deployed near important places like tourist hotels and government buildings. IG Kashmir VK Birdi also held a high-level review meeting with top officials from multiple agencies to discuss the current threats and challenges.

India’s Tough Stand Against Pakistan

After the Pahalgam attack, India has taken a very strong position. The following measures have already been put in place:

• Deportation of Pakistani nationals from Indian soil.
• Suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.
• Shutdown of the Attari-Wagah border crossing.
• Closure of Indian airspace to Pakistani flights.
• Full stop to all trade and cultural exchanges between India and Pakistan.

PM Modi Gives Freedom to Armed Forces

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given full operational freedom to the armed forces to take action against those behind the Pahalgam massacre. This means that the military now has complete authority to respond as it deems fit in the ongoing fight against terrorism.

The uncovering of this terror hideout in Poonch is a major win for our security forces. However, it also shows that the threat is far from over. With Pakistan continuing to provoke along the LoC and attempts to revive terrorism in the valley, India must stay alert. The coming days will be crucial as our forces prepare for any situation. The entire country stands united against terror and with our brave soldiers.
