Indian forces have intensified cordon-and-search operations, raids, frisking and checks across Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

According to Kashmir Media Service, extensive cordon-and-search operations and frisking continued in Srinagar, Kulgam, Islamabad, Pulwama, Shopian and Kishtwar districts following an attack on a Central Reserve Police Force party in Kulgam.

On the other hand, Indian forces arrested several more youth in Kulgam and other areas of the territory.

Meanwhile, human rights organisations have repeatedly raised concerns over alleged extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, custodial abuses and the absence of effective accountability for human rights violations by Indian forces in the disputed territory.
