Top Lashkar-e-Taiba Commander Killed in Encounter in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam
A top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander, identified as Fauzi Musa (also known as Sulaiman Shah), was killed in an encounter with security forces in Budgam district, Jammu and Kashmir. The joint operation by the Indian Army's Chinar Corps, police, and CRPF took place near Yousmarg.

Officials consider his death a significant setback for Lashkar-e-Taiba in the region.
