Anantnag attack: Militant houses razed, mass detentions draw 'collective punishment' charge

Security forces demolished two militant houses in southern Kashmir Wednesday night. This action followed the killing of a J&K Police head constable in Anantnag. Authorities also detained approximately 2,500 individuals across the Kashmir Valley. Political leaders condemned the demolitions and detentions as collective punishment. The Amarnath Yatra security duty head constable was shot dead by a lone attacker.
