in 2018, 253 militants, 97 Government Force personnel and 84 civilians have been killed so far, as per official figures, however data available to The Kashmiriyat reveals that at least 140 people have been killed in Violence related incidents.

Among the top commanders killed this year were Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT)’s Naveed Jutt alias Abu Hanzalla, Jaish-e-Muhammad’s sniper specialist Usmaan Haider and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen’s Altaf Ahmad Dar.

Among the recruits were, 14-year-old boy Mudassir Rashid who had joined the militants’ ranks only about a week ago. With him also died his friend and neighbour Saqib Bilal Sheikh, 17, who had done a brief role in Bollywood movie Haider.

South Kashmir has been the worst hit in the conflict that raged post the killing of Burhan Wani on 08 July, 2016. Even though Indian Security agencies have been hinting that Militancy might shift its focus towards North, however that is unlikely to happen, because of the massive support Militants get down South.
