The reports from the concerned tehsildars have indicated damage to about one dozen houses in Tehsil Nagseni, Mughalmaidan and Kishtwar areas, an official said

The report claimed that RAW member Vikram Yadav purportedly directed a contracted hit squad to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a separatist based in the United States. The report suggested that US intelligence agencies have concluded that the mission aimed at Pannun received approval from then-chief of RAW Samant Goel. It further notes that Yadav was reassigned to the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) after the failed Pannun operation came to light last year.
