Azad Kashmir: Man arrested for allegedly sharing mosque location with Indian intelligence
Authorities in Muzaffarabad have arrested a man accused of providing the GPS coordinates of Bilal Mosque—damaged in Indian airstrikes on May 6—to Indian intelligence via WhatsApp. The attack had killed three people and left the mosque badly damaged.
The suspect, identified as Obaid Jahangir, a resident of Rawalakot, has been charged under the Official Secrets Act of 1923. According to the FIR, he allegedly shared photographs of sensitive sites and the exact location of Bilal Mosque in exchange for money.
SSP Riaz Mughal of the Counter-Terrorism Department said evidence, including photographs and communications, had been recovered, linking Obaid to the offense. Another police official claimed the suspect had prior ties to a banned militant outfit and is currently affiliated with a relief organization.
Obaid’s family has rejected allegations of militant links, insisting he was trapped by financial incentives. They maintain he was only involved in humanitarian work with the Jammu Kashmir United Movement.
This is the second such case in Pakistan-administered Kashmir this year. Earlier, a police constable was also arrested for allegedly passing sensitive information to India.

Security Forces Launch Major Operation in Birmal Tehsil, Lower South Waziristan
On the morning of 21 August, security forces launched a significant operation in Birmal Tehsil, between Wana and Azam Warsak, targeting a key militant stronghold that had remained under insurgent control for several days.
Intermittent gunfire persisted throughout the day, creating a tense environment that forced families to stay confined to their homes for hours. The Wana–Azam Warsak Road remained closed until around 1 pm, disrupting daily life and preventing thousands of residents from reaching Wana Rustam Bazaar.
The clashes, lasting over 12 hours, saw the use of heavy weaponry and surveillance drones by both sides. Civilians bore the brunt of the confrontation, with 11 residents injured, many as a result of drone strikes, including at least two families directly affected. All injured were provided first aid before being transported to the District Headquarters Hospital in Wana.
Militants reportedly sought cover in nearby structures and gardens to continue firing but eventually fled during the clearance operation. While both sides claimed to have inflicted substantial damage on the other, independent sources report four injuries among Frontier Corps personnel and one army fatality, alongside at least four militant fatalities, including local commander Umar Khalid, with additional injuries sustained by individuals identified by security forces as suicide bombers.
Local sources noted that the bodies of militants remain at Karmazi Stop, with community elders, led by Maulana Muhammad Khan send by Taliban, negotiating with authorities for their retrieval. The deceased fighters are reportedly from North Waziristan. Meanwhile, IMP Media released footage showing a downed army surveillance drone in the area.
By the conclusion of the operation, security forces successfully established two new posts to consolidate their positions: one was a previously abandoned post reinstated following the restoration of relative peace, and the other involved converting an empty house into a functional check-post, according to security officials. Authorities also claimed control over Karmazi Khel Mosque, allegedly used by militants as a defensive compound.
The Wana–Azam Warsak Road, which militants had blocked 15 days ago using explosives, has now been reopened for civilian transit.
However, the owners of the house converted into a military post held a press conference rejecting social media claims that they had voluntarily handed over their property. They stated that escalating security risks had forced the family to evacuate in chaos, and that approximately 70 family members—including women, children, and the elderly—are currently living under extreme hardship in open conditions at Wacha Khwara. Their household items and food supplies remain inside the home, confirming that the evacuation was sudden, involuntary, and that the property remains theirs.
During the press briefing, family representatives appealed to the government, district administration, and political and social leaders to intervene immediately, vacate their home, and allow the family to return with dignity.
