Exclusive: After Uri, Intel Hints at Fidayeen Attack in Awantipora

Three militants have been seen with rifles near Awantipora in Jammu and Kashmir.

Amid escalating tensions along the Line of Control (LoC) after the Fidayeen attack in Uri, there is strong intelligence input of a fresh Fidayeen attack between Awantipora and Pampore.

Inputs further reveal that three militants have been seen with rifles near Awantipora.

Earlier in September, terrorists carried out a Fidayeen attack on the Indian Army’s base in Uri, claiming 20 lives in the process. India reacted strongly to the deadliest attack on the Army in Jammu and Kashmir in a quarter-century-old insurgency by carrying out surgical strikes across the LoC.
