Top Lashkar-e-Taiba Commander Fauzi Musa Killed in Budgam Encounter
Security forces killed Fauzi Musa, a top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander, during a joint operation in Budgam district, Jammu and Kashmir. The operation, named Operation Korag, involved the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and CRPF, targeting suspicious activity near Yousmarg and Dudhpathri. Musa, wanted for multiple attacks across the Pir Panjal range, had escaped an earlier encounter on September 5, in which his associate Yasir was killed. The operation is seen as a significant setback for LeT in the region.
