Summary

Mohammad Asif, a Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander known by aliases including Hashim Moosa, Musa, and Asif Fauji, was killed in an encounter with security forces in Budgam district, central Kashmir on September 29, 2026. The operation involved the Indian Army's 15 Chinar Corps, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the Yousmarg/Korag area. Asif was a former Pakistan Army Special Services Group (SSG) commando and had infiltrated Indian territory in September 2023. He was linked to multiple terror attacks across the region, including the 2025 Pahalgam attack and incidents in locations such as Halan, Kandi, and the Pir Panjal range. Security forces recovered his body along with weapons and war-like stores including an AK-47 rifle, magazines, and communication devices. The Union Home Ministry characterized his killing as dealing a serious blow to LeT's network in Jammu and Kashmir, noting he was part of a four-member group of top LeT commanders active since 2022, all of whom have now been neutralized. The operation was part of ongoing counter-terrorism campaigns including Operation Sheruwali and Operation Korag.
