Highly Trained Terrorists Attacking with M4 Assault Rifles

Highly trained terrorists are attacking security forces and civilian vehicles by laying ambushes and using advanced weapons such as M4 assault rifles, grenades, and armor-piercing bullets.

Rise in Terrorist Incidents in Pir Panjal

In recent years, there has been an increase in terrorist incidents in the Pir Panjal region, which separates the Kashmir Valley from Jammu.
