Hizb, LeT losses confirmed by India
Two hardcore militant outfits Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) have suffered major losses in the October 8 killer earthquake in terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir but militancy has continued in Jammu and Kashmir with the Army today saying it has killed 29 militants in the last one week.
Militant groups like HM have suffered "maximum losses" followed by LeT in camps in areas like Rawalakot in PoK, Director General of Military Operation (DGMO) Lt. Gen. Madan Gopal said. Asked if anti-militancy operations of the security forces have suffered because of the quake, he said the forces have been carrying out a "happy balance" of relief operations and, at the same time, not letting their guard down in operations against militants.
