Terror trail unveiled: Pahalgam attack tied to Poonch infiltration
The recent attack in Pahalgam has been linked to a militant group that slipped into Kashmir from Dehra Ki Gali in Poonch.
This group has been active since late 2022 or early 2023 and ramped up its presence in Kashmir in the second half of 2024, putting security forces on high alert across the region.
TL;DR
Network of militants has spread across Kashmir
These militants started with a deadly ambush in Surankote last December and have since targeted both Army convoys and non-local workers, splitting into factions to carry out attacks from Sonmarg to Gulmarg.
Security agencies say intercepted signals show they're using mountain routes to avoid detection, making tracking tough.
Now, efforts are focused on breaking up their network by targeting their hideouts in the Valley.
