Security Alert Issued After LeT Terrorist Sighting
A significant security alert was triggered in Anantnag district following the sighting of a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist, Mohammad Latif, in a local market. The day after the sighting, the Jammu and Kashmir police, in collaboration with CRPF personnel, launched a coordinated operation to apprehend him. Latif had reportedly joined the terrorist organization in November and is believed to be active in the southern Kashmir region.

They indicated that a search operation was promptly intensified in the surrounding area, but he escaped through dense woodland. The search for Latif continues, and agencies across the district remain on high alert. This incident occurred just three days after security forces conducted an anti-vandalism operation around key establishments in Srinagar, aimed at bolstering security measures and countering any potential threats.
