Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba Commander Yasir Killed in Jammu and Kashmir OperationPreviousNext

Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam district killed Yasir, a Pakistani national and Lashkar-e-Taiba commander, during Operation Ashdar. The joint operation, involving the Indian Army, J&K Police, and CRPF, targeted suspected terrorists moving through the forested Yousmarg area. Yasir, formerly part of the Sulaiman Musa group, had operated independently for about a year. Authorities are investigating his network and potential involvement in recent terror activities. One terrorist was neutralized, and arms were recovered during the encounter.
