Among them was Shahid Ahmed Kutte, a long-active LeT commander, whose house in Choti Pora village was reduced to rubble. Similarly, Zahid Ahmed’s house in Kulgam’s Matalan areas and Ahsan Ul Haq’s home in Pulwama’s Murran area were also destroyed; Ahsan had returned recently after terror training in Pakistan. The homes of two other LeT terrorists, Ehsan Ahmad Sheikh and Haris Ahmad, active since 2023, were also razed.

In response, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty and Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged to hunt down and punish all terrorists involved. A joint operation involving the army, CRPF and local police continues in the region.
