The Indian Army has once again busted a terrorist hideout. Terrorists linked to the Pakistan-backed Jaish-e-Mohammed had planned to stay for a considerable time in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, and had even built a strong bunker for this purpose.
The terrorists had camouflaged the bunker with stones from the outside to keep it safe and hidden from view. The bunker contained enough food and supplies for several months, indicating the terrorists’ intention to hide there for a long period. However, the army discovered this secret hideout.
50 packets of Maggi, 20 kg of rice, cylinders… Jaish terrorists’ bunker busted
The army destroyed the bunker after a counter-terrorism operation. During the operation, one commando was martyred, and several others were injured.
The bunker contained 10 kg of basmati rice, sacks of lentils, 50 packets of noodles, wheat and millet, crates of potatoes and tomatoes, spices, and other food items. Two large LPG cylinders were also found, along with a burner and dry firewood. A firefight ensued between the terrorists and security forces. During the exchange of fire, a paratrooper was critically injured and later succumbed to his injuries.
One soldier martyred
Indian Army personnel launched a search operation in the upper reaches of Kishtwar district, Jammu and Kashmir, to track down the terrorists. Several people were detained and questioned as part of this operation, which began on January 18, 2026. The hidden terrorists attacked with grenades, resulting in the martyrdom of one paratrooper and injuries to seven others.

The terrorists fled into the dense forest, leaving all their supplies behind at their hideout. The Army’s White Knight Corps provided information about the incident on the social media platform ‘X’. He stated that Operation Trashi-1 is underway in Chatru. It is reported that 2-3 terrorists linked to Pakistan’s Jaish-e-Mohammed are roaming in the valley in a group.
