Overview

• On July 28, a joint operation in Dachigam killed three Pakistani nationals linked to the April 22 Pahalgam massacre after months of targeted surveillance
• Home Minister Amit Shah confirmed two of the slain were Lashkar-e-Taiba members and said ballistic tests matched their rifles to those used in the tourist attack
• Security teams tracked the suspects using satellite phone intercepts, on-the-ground intelligence and forensics before engaging them in mountainous terrain
• Operation Shivshakti on July 30 intercepted suspicious movement near Poonch’s Line of Control, resulting in two infiltrators being shot dead and three weapons recovered
• Agencies have stepped up LoC surveillance and coordinated patrols across army, police and paramilitary units to prevent further cross-border militant incursions
