The house of an active terrorist identified as Ahsan-ul-Haq outfit of JeM (Jaish-e-Mohammed) was destroyed by authorities in Murran, Pulwama, reported IANS.

This comes within a day of destroying the houses of two Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let) terrorists, including the prime suspect of the Pahalgam terror attack, and PTI reported that explosives were believed to be stored inside.

This comes after 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed and several injured when terrorists opened fire at a meadow near the popular tourist town of Pahalgam in Anantnag district on Tuesday afternoon.

LeT Terrorist Houses Destroyed

According to the security officials, the incidents took place during the intervening night of Thursday and Friday, when the residences of Aadil Hussain Thokar and Asif Sheikh were being searched by security forces at Guree village in Bijbehara and Tral respectively in south Kashmir.

Explosives were believed to have been found at the premises during the search operation, prompting the security forces to evacuate the occupants of the houses as well as neighbours to safety, the officials told PTI.

Both the houses were damaged in the explosions, leading to their destruction, the officials said.

Thokar, a resident of south Kashmir's Anantnag district, is one of the key accused in Tuesday's Pahalgam massacre, while Sheikh, a resident of Tral in Pulwama district, is suspected to be involved in the conspiracy of the attack.

The family members of both men have claimed that they are not aware of the whereabouts of Thokar and Sheikh.
