India
In 2025 in Jammu and Kashmir, security forces have taken down 31 terrorists—24 of them were foreign nationals, mostly from Pakistan, and seven were locals.
A coordinated operation also targeted three senior Lashkar-e-Taiba members behind the tragic Pahalgam attack in April that killed 26 civilians.

The three Lashkar operatives linked to the Pahalgam attack were killed during Operation Mahadev near Srinagar on July 28.
Documents recovered at the scene confirmed they were Pakistani nationals.
Thanks to ongoing efforts by security forces, the number of foreign terrorists fell to its lowest level in 2025, and terror-related fatalities in 2025 showed a significant drop compared with previous years.
