Jammu & Kashmir After Article 370
This card tracks Jammu & Kashmir on two lines: its constitutional status since Article 370 was set aside on 5 August 2019, and its security since the Pahalgam massacre of 22 April 2025 and Operation Sindoor. It is in the news because the Ministry of Home Affairs said on 30 September 2026 that security forces had neutralised Musa alias Asif Fauji, a senior Lashkar-e-Toiba commander, in Budgam district - the last of a group of four commanders active in the Union Territory since 2022.
