Security forces detained over 2,500 individuals across Kashmir following the killing of police head constable Ashiq Hussain Qureshi in a terror attack in Anantnag. In response, authorities demolished the homes of two suspected terrorists, Haroon Ganie and Adil Ahmad Thokar, in the early hours of Thursday. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah criticized the approach, stating that the cycle of violence will not end without engaging the local population.
