Overview

• Indian Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police carried out the July 28 Dachigam forest operation, killing three suspected militants identified as Pakistani nationals
• Home Minister Amit Shah told parliament that two of the three killed were members of Lashkar-e-Taiba and all had direct involvement in the Pahalgam attack
• Ballistic and forensic tests confirmed the rifles seized during the raid were the same weapons used in the April 22 massacre that left 26 tourists dead
• The raid concluded a three-month multi-agency manhunt launched after the massacre led to tit-for-tat strikes and a US-brokered ceasefire in May
• Security forces have since heightened patrols and operations along the Line of Control to prevent further infiltration attempts
