In the aftermath of the devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists, Indian security forces have intensified operations against those responsible. The attack, the deadliest in India since 2008, was claimed by The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
In a significant development, reports indicate that the homes of two Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack were destroyed in a blast. While specific details about the operation remain limited, this action underscores the Indian security forces’ commitment to bringing the perpetrators to justice.
The Indian government’s response to the attack has been multifaceted. Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the incident, vowing to pursue the perpetrators globally. In response to the attack, India downgraded diplomatic ties with Pakistan, suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, and closed its main border crossing.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has initiated an investigation into the attack. Based on eyewitness testimonies, the Jammu and Kashmir Police released sketches of three militants believed to be involved. These individuals have been linked to previous militancy-related incidents in the Poonch region.

The international community has widely condemned the attack, with leaders from the US, UK, China, and other nations expressing solidarity with India. The incident has reignited tensions between India and Pakistan, with India accusing Pakistan of supporting cross-border terrorism, a claim Pakistan denies.
As the situation develops, further details about the destroyed homes and ongoing operations are expected to emerge.
