A fresh terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district has heightened security concerns after the Pakistan-backed terror outfit The Resistance Front (TRF) claimed responsibility and threatened more attacks targeting non-local workers in the Valley.

The death toll has risen to two after an injured migrant worker succumbed to injuries at the Government Medical College, Anantnag. The victims were among migrant workers who came under indiscriminate firing by terrorists in the Kalamaria area of Kulgam. Both deceased workers were residents of Chhattisgarh.

According to Jammu and Kashmir Police, terrorists deliberately targeted non-local workers. Security officials believe the attack was carried out by hybrid terrorists with no prior criminal records. Following the incident, security forces launched a massive search operation, cordoned off the area, and heightened security across the Valley.

Jammu & Kashmir Terror Attack | Security Forces Launch Massive Operation In Kulgam

Srinagar: Security forces have detained over 500 individuals after the recent attack in South Kashmir&rsquo;s Kulgam district in which an ex-Army man was killed, say sources in the security forces. Ex-Army man Manzoor Ahmad Wagay was shot dead while two of his family members were injured in a targeted terror attack on Monday. In a major crackdown, security forces have detained over 500 people, including the Over Ground Workers (OGWs), suspects, terror associates, and individuals with past involvement in terror activities.

Sources in the security forces say that raids and detentions are still continuing across the Kulgam district to nab the terrorists involved in the incident. Manzoor Ahmad Wagay was shot by terrorists from point-blank range when he was in a vehicle along with his wife and niece. Manzoor succumbed to his injuries later in the hospital while his wife and niece were injured, and their condition is said to be stable.
The terror attack on the ex-Army man and his family was also the first in the Kashmir division in 2025. The Valley had witnessed a peaceful January with no untoward incident. After the Kulgam incident, the whole security apparatus is now focussed on bringing the perpetrators of the attack to justice. According to a top security official, a major search operation and raids were carried out across the district of Kulgam, in which over 500 people have been detained for questioning with regard to the said attack.

Security forces are leaving no stone unturned to zero in on the terrorists involved in the attack. Not just in South Kashmir&rsquo;s Kulgam district, but these raids and detentions have taken place across various districts of the Kashmir Division. The Terrorist&rsquo;s Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba, had taken responsibility for the attack via a social media post.

Over 500 detained across Kashmir in crackdown after Kulgam terror attack

Two migrant workers from Uttar Pradesh sustained gunshot injuries in Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on Friday (Nov 1), following an attack by alleged terrorists. According to officials, the victims, identified as Sufiyan and Usman, are currently stable and receiving medical care.

The incident took place in the Mazhama area of Magam, located in Kashmir’s Budgam district, where the two were employed on the Jal Jeevan Project. Both were rushed to a hospital for treatment after the attack.

This attack is one among several recent terrorist incidents in the Union territory. Earlier in the week, terrorists affiliated with the Pakistan-backed Jaish-e-Mohammed group targeted an ambulance in an Indian Army convoy in Jammu and Kashmir’s Akhnoor sector. In response, security forces killed three terrorists in a counter-terrorism operation.

Reports by PTI indicate that these terrorists were planning a significant attack and had chosen the Akhnoor route, commonly used by members of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) group. Intelligence sources state that the terrorists entered the Akhnoor area through the Battal region. The seizure of a wireless communication device confirmed their connection to JeM.

On October 24, a separate incident in Baramulla saw the death of two Army soldiers and two civilian porters when terrorists attacked a military vehicle.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking during Rashtriya Ekta Diwas celebrations in Kevadiya, Gujarat, on Thursday (Oct 31), condemned the attacks and urged national unity. “Terrorists' 'masters' now know that harming India won't yield results, as India won't spare them!” PM Modi was quoted saying by ANI.

“The people of Jammu and Kashmir have rejected the age-old agenda of separatism and terrorism. They have made the Constitution of India and the democracy of India victorious. They have put an end to the propaganda going on for 70 years with their votes. Today, on National Unity Day, I salute the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” he added.

Two non-local labourers killed in South Kashmir attack, police arrest two LeT terrorists

Two migrant labourers were injured after terrorists lobbed a grenade in the Aglar area of Shopian in South Kashmir. This was the second attack in the last 36 hours on the non-local labourers in the Kashmir Valley.&nbsp;

As soon as the blast took place chaos ensued in the region, following which the police cordoned off the area. The fresh attacks come in the wake of exodus of the Kashmiri Pandit minority community due to targeted killings by the terrorists.

A lot of labourers, who left their home state for better job prospects, are now fearing for their life. There are at least thousands of labourers working in Kashmir.

''They were having dinner when a huge blast happened at this place resulting in injury to four of the labourers. Police came to the spot and medical treatment was provided to the injured, but it has left everyone here terrified,” said Mohd. Subhan, a labourer.&nbsp;

“Feel like we should go back to our native places,'' he added.

Another labourer, Divarkar, who barely escaped the blast, hopes that situation turns normal soon.

“I had just finished my dinner and was sitting in this shed when a big blast happened.”

The police earlier said that the terrorists lobbed the grenade towards the sheds of these non-local labourers, but it missed the target. Area has been cordoned off. Further details shall follow." tweeted Kashmir Police.&nbsp;

The first incident took place in central Kashmir's Budgam district where two migrant labourers were injured. One of the victims later succumbed to his injuries.

This was the fifth attack on non-locals and civilians from minority communities in the past one month in Kashmir Valley.

Kashmir Terror Attack: India slams Pakistan for shielding JeM

Jaish-e-Mohammed is responsible for the fidayeen (guerilla) attack&nbsp;on an army brigade headquarters in Uri, Kashmir, the Indian Army has said. 
 
Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt. Gen Ranbir Singh said the weapons recovered from the slain terrorists had Pakistan marking.&nbsp; 
 
&quot;Four AK 47s, four Under Barrel Grenade Launchers and other war like stores were recovered from the four terrorists who were killed. All the weapons had Pakistan marking,&rdquo; Singh said in a press statement. 
 
The Army&#39;s statement means this will be JeM&#39;s second deadly attack on Indian forces in the last nine months. Indian intelligence agencies believed the group also had a hand in the attack on Pathankot Air Force Station on January 2, which had resulted in deaths of six soldiers. 
 
Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is a Kashmir-based Islamist militant group. The group is viewed by the Indian intelligence agencies as the principal terrorist organisation in Jammu and Kashmir. 
 
The group, helmed by Maulana Masood Azhar, has been deemed as a terror outfit by India and United States.&nbsp; 
 
Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the attack on the army brigade headquarters in Uri. 
 
He also promised to punish the perpetrators for the &quot;despicable&quot; and &quot;cowardly&quot; attack on the army base. 
&nbsp; 
Seventeen Indian soldiers were killed after four suicide gunmen attacked the army&#39;s battalion headquarters in Uri. The armed men were later neutralised, Indian authorities said. 
 
India&#39;s defence ministry said a total of 35 soldiers had been wounded in the attack which began at 4 am local time. 
 
&quot;We strongly condemn the cowardly terror attack in Uri. I assure the nation that those behind this despicable attack will not go unpunished,&quot; Modi said in a tweet following the raid.

India&#39;s interior minister Rajnath Singh has accused Pakistan of orchestrating the attack. &quot;Pakistan is a terrorist state and it should be&nbsp;identified&nbsp;and isolated as such,&quot; the senior minister said, PTI reported. 
 
He also said the militants were &quot;highly trained&quot; and &quot;heavily armed&quot;.

The weapons recovered from the slain terrorists are from Pakistan, senior Army official Ranbir Singh said

Jaish-e-Mohammed is responsible for the fidayeen (guerilla) attack on an army brigade headquarters in Uri, Kashmir, the Indian Army has said. Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt. Gen Ranbir Singh said the weapons recovered from the slain terrorists had Pakistan marking. "Four AK 47s, four Under Barrel Grenade Launchers and other war like stores were recovered from the four terrorists who were killed. All the weapons had Pakistan marking,” Singh said in a press statement. The Army's statement means this will be JeM's second deadly attack on Indian forces in the last nine months. Indian intelligence agencies believed the group also had a hand in the attack on Pathankot Air Force Station on January 2, which had resulted in deaths of six soldiers. Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is a Kashmir-based Islamist militant group. The group is viewed by the Indian intelligence agencies as the principal terrorist organisation in Jammu and Kashmir. The group, helmed by Maulana Masood Azhar, has been deemed as a terror outfit by India and United States. Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the attack on the army brigade headquarters in Uri. He also promised to punish the perpetrators for the "despicable" and "cowardly" attack on the army base. Seventeen Indian soldiers were killed after four suicide gunmen attacked the army's battalion headquarters in Uri. The armed men were later neutralised, Indian authorities said. India's defence ministry said a total of 35 soldiers had been wounded in the attack which began at 4 am local time. "We strongly condemn the cowardly terror attack in Uri. I assure the nation that those behind this despicable attack will not go unpunished," Modi said in a tweet following the raid. We strongly condemn the cowardly terror attack in Uri. I assure the nation that those behind this despicable attack will not go unpunished. — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) September 18, 2016 India's interior minister Rajnath Singh has accused Pakistan of orchestrating the attack. "Pakistan is a terrorist state and it should be identified and isolated as such," the senior minister said, PTI reported. He also said the militants were "highly trained" and "heavily armed". There are definite and conclusive indications that the perpetrators of Uri attack were highly trained, heavily armed and specially equipped. — Rajnath Singh (@rajnathsingh) September 18, 2016 Singh also chaired a crisis meeting in New Delhi to assess the situation in the state.
