Cut The Clutter: New terrorist tactics, geography, Army’s choices, as Kokernag tragedy thickens plot in south Kashmir

 Two Army officers and a deputy superintendent of police were killed Wednesday in an ambush in a thick forested area of the Pir Panjal mountains in Kokernag. While it has been described as an intelligence-based operation gone wrong, it points towards the continuing shadow of terror that looms over Jammu & Kashmir. In Ep 1311 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta brings in Snehesh Alex Philip & Praveen Swami, ThePrint’s defence and national security editors, respectively, for a discussion on the ambush, what we know about it so far, the Lashkar front Resistance Front, and changing terror tactics in J&K.
