Three terrorists gunned down in J-K's Shopian; army says op ongoing
Taking to X, Additional Directorate General of Public Information wrote, "On 13 May 2025, based on specific intelligence of a #RashtriyasRifles Unit, about the presence of terrorists in the general area of Shoekal Keller, #Shopian, #IndianArmy launched a search and destroy Operation. During the operation, terrorists opened heavy fire, and fierce firefight ensued, which resulted in the elimination of three hardcore terrorists (sic)."
The ADGPI further said that the operation is still in progress.
This comes just days after both India and Pakistan announced an "understanding to stop all firing and military action". Both India and Pakistan engaged in cross-border drone and missile strikes, which came after India launched ' Operation Sindoor ' on terrorist infrastructure at nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The coordinated missile strikes were in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists.
It is worth noting that earlier today, Jammu and Kashmir police released photos of three terror suspects for their alleged involvement in the Pahalgam attack and announced a reward of ₹20 lakh.

Our works stalled, govt must release Rs 27-crore grant: Mohali Mayor
Mohali Mayor Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu has complained that they have not received the promised grant of approximately Rs 27 crore from the Punjab government which is hampering the development projects in the city. The mayor also made it clear that the MC is facing a severe fund crunch and has already written to the Local Government Department and the Chief Minister seeking financial assistance. He alleged that several departments, including PSPCL and GMADA, still owe significant amounts to the MC. 'The government must immediately release the grant so that the process of execution can begin,' Sidhu added. Sources in the MC said that the sanctioned works include laying premix on various city roads, building libraries in sectors 77, 78, 79, and 80, constructing community centres in villages Kumbra and Mataur, replacing old grills along central verges of main roads, and developing a new chowk in Mataur, among other projects. 'As per the available funds, the MC is already carrying out essential maintenance works in the city. Until the money for these special projects is received, we will not start them. Our priority is to complete the most urgent works first,' said Sidhu.

India and Pakistan got independent on same day but they celebrate Independence Day on different dates due to..., reason will shock you
File India gained independence from the British colonial regime on August 15, 1947, while Pakistan was also formed on the same day, thus the date technically is Independence Day for both countries. However, the two neighboring countries celebrate their respective Independence Day on separate dates– August 14 (Pakistan) and August 15 (India). Here's why. Why India and Pakistan celebrate Independence Day on different dates? Interestingly, August 15 is also recognized as Independence Day in Pakistan, which is evident from its commemorative postage stamp issued in July 1948, that mentions August 15, 1947 as the country's Independence Day, according to report by the Pakistan's Tribune newspaper. However, according to historical reports, it is believed that Lord Mountbatten– the last Viceroy of British India– handed over power to Pakistan on the August 14 in Karachi, before travelling to New Delhi and handing over the charge to India's first independent government on August 15. Thus, Pakistan technically became independent from the British a day earlier than India, hence the reason for its separate Independence Day. Historians says that Lord Mountbatten was planned to hand over power both India and Pakistan at August 15 midnight, but renowned Pakistani historian Khurshid Kamal Aziz writes in his book 'Murder of History', that the Viceroy was inclined to transfer power separately to both countries as he was the sole representative of the British Raj in India. Did India and Pakistan celebrate Independence Day on same day? After the transfer of power, the Pakistani cabinet along with the country's founder and first Governor-General Muhammad Ali Jinnah, took oath on the morning of August 15, 1947, and according to historical records, Pakistan celebrated the date as its first Independence Day. However, a year later, in 1948, Pakistan changed its Independence Day from August 15 to August 14, as a large section of Pakistan's population did not want to share the occasion with India.

Putin 'BREAKS' Protocol, Does 'UNTHINKABLE' For Arab Leader
Operation Sindoor Ends Balakot Doubts With 80-Hour IAF Blow To Pakistan: Air Chief Marshal Reveals Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh says Operation Sindoor finally 'laid to rest the ghost of Balakot.' Speaking at the LM Katre Memorial Lecture, he revealed how the IAF learned from the 2019 Balakot strike, when India struggled to publicly prove the damage inflicted. This time, against Pakistan, there was no ambiguity. In just 80-90 hours, the IAF crippled Pakistan's air power, shooting down five fighters and a massive AWACS aircraft, and destroying key terror hubs in Pakistan and PoK, including the prized Sargodha airbase. Singh credited the success to full political backing, no operational restrictions, and perfect tri-services coordination under the CDS. Using S-400 missiles and precision air raids, India eliminated over 100 terrorists in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam massacre.#balakot #opsindoor #iaf #indianairforce #apsingh #indiapakistan #s400 #airdefence #pahalgamattack #defencenews #counterterror #pakistanairforce #indianarmy #airpower #indiadefense #nationalsecurity #surgicalstrike #breakingnews #militarynews #cds #sargodha #breakingnews #trending #trendingnow #toi #bharat #toibharat #indianews 84.5K views | 9 hours ago
