After receiving several improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in North and South Kashmir in the last 72 hours, security forces have intensified siege and search operations in the entire Kashmir Valley. However, the IED was detected and defused in a safe manner, which averted a big tragedy. & Nbsp;
Senior police officer said that in the last few years, successful anti -terrorism operations in the Kashmir Valley have almost abolished the ability of terrorists to face security forces. Now due to lack of new recruitment and infiltration almost zero, such attacks are a task of frustration.

An IED was deactivated in Kupwara on Sunday, while another IED was detected in Kulgam on Monday and it was disabled.
On Sunday, security forces found and destroyed an improvised explosive device (IED) in the forest area of ​​Kupwara near the Line of Control in North Kashmir.

76 terrorists active in Jammu and Kashmir
Intelligence agencies have said that only 76 terrorists, including 59 foreign terrorists of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JEM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET), are currently active in Jammu and Kashmir. Data shows a huge decline in the number of terrorists operating in Jammu and Kashmir, where a total of 91 terrorists were active in the same period in 2024.
Sources said that three of the 59 active foreign terrorists belong to Hizbul Mujahideen. 21 are from Jaish-e-Mohammed (JEM) and 35 are from Lashkar-e-Taiba, while three out of 17 local terrorists are active in Jammu and 14 in the valley. The continuous decline in the number of terrorists operating in Jammu and Kashmir is a result of intensifying anti -terrorism campaigns in the region, focusing on tracking and neutralizing active terrorists.
Terrorism related violence and local recruitment in the Kashmir Valley have decreased significantly. Terrorists have focused their attention to Jammu, which was a terrorism-free area before 5 August 2019, when Article 370 was diverted.
