Summary: Two Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists' residences were demolished by security authorities in Jammu and Kashmir after the Pahalgam terror incident.

In a decisive move following the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army has demolished the residences of two Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists identified as Adil Hussain Thoker and Asif Sheikh. The attack took the lives of 26 innocent civilians, including 25 Indians and one Nepali national.

According to officials, the defendants' residences were destroyed because bombs were found within them. This strategy aligns with India's objective of identifying terrorist assets. Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier in a speech condemned the Pahalgam attackers and vowed to "identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backer."

People have different opinions regarding this matter. Critics claim this action to be a violation of human rights, while advocates regard it as an essential measure to stop terrorism. Nonetheless, the Indian government believes that victims' justice and national security have to be guaranteed.

This incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the region and India's will to fight terrorism forcefully and immediately.
