· India · India Today, Hindustan Times
On November 11, gunmen attacked a CRPF checkpoint in Kulgam, injuring three personnel including one critically, while Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha inaugurated the Veshow Literature Festival nearby. Two SPOs were ambushed and found dead in Kishtwar's forested Dachhan-Marwah belt on November 12, with their weapons missing. These incidents occurred after police chief Sujit Kumar declared on November 5 that only one active local militant remained in the Kashmir Valley. Investigations continue as security forces resume search operations to track down the attackers.
Why it matters
The attacks expose vulnerabilities in Jammu and Kashmir's security apparatus, endangering personnel and undermining recent claims of stabilized conditions in the region.
