Top Lashkar Commander Hashim Musa Killed in Budgam Encounter | J&K Security Forces Big Operation

In a major counter-terrorism operation, Indian security forces successfully eliminated a top commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba outfit, identified as Hashim Musa. The fierce gunfight erupted late Tuesday night in the Korag area of Yusmarg within the Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir. Acting on specific and credible intelligence regarding the clandestine movement and presence of anti-national elements in the region, a coordinated joint search operation was swiftly launched by the Indian Army, the local Jammu and Kashmir Police, and the Central Reserve Police Force. As the security personnel cordoned off the suspected spot and closed in on the targets, the cornered terrorists indiscriminately opened fire on the advancing search parties, triggering a heavy exchange of gunfire. Security forces retaliated with precision, neutralizing the commander while ensuring zero collateral damage. Search operations remain active in the surrounding area to sanitize it completely.
