Ied found in J&K’s Baramulla and Neutralised on Srinagar-Baramulla Highway as Multiple Suspicious Objects Are Defused

An ied was detected and rendered safe in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district, while separate suspicious objects on the Srinagar-Baramulla corridor were cordoned and neutralised by bomb disposal teams and security personnel. The incidents prompted temporary traffic stoppages and targeted clearance operations along the highway.

Ied detected and defused in Baramulla

Security forces located an improvised explosive device in the Janbazpora area of Baramulla on Thursday night. A bomb disposal squad was summoned to the scene and defused the device without causing harm. The response involved establishing a security perimeter around the site while specialists carried out neutralisation procedures.

Ied and suspicious objects neutralised on Srinagar-Baramulla highway

Separate interventions were carried out along the Srinagar-Baramulla route after security personnel discovered suspicious items. In one instance, a briefcase was noticed by the roadside at Narbal at around 7 am on Wednesday. Authorities cordoned the area and temporarily halted traffic on the highway while a bomb disposal squad sanitised the scene and destroyed the device without damage to people or infrastructure.

Another suspicious object was found along the Srinagar-Baramulla National Highway Ring Road near Hajiwara Payeen in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district. The area was immediately cordoned off and precautionary measures were implemented. Security units on site included police elements, a formation identified as 29 Rashtriya Rifles, and the Bomb Disposal Squad, all of which participated in disposal and safety operations. A related neutralisation at Mirgund Narbal was reported early in the morning, with teams present to ensure the device posed no further risk.

What happened, what it means, and what comes next

Across these incidents the pattern of discovery and response was consistent: suspicious item located, area cordoned, traffic or movement restricted as needed, and bomb disposal teams engaged to neutralise the threat. These measures resulted in devices being destroyed or defused without casualties or reported damage.

Immediate implications include continued route clearances and active security patrols along key stretches of the Srinagar-Baramulla corridor. Investigations and follow-up checks are likely to continue as teams examine the devices and the surrounding areas to determine origin and intent. For now, authorities have focused on neutralisation and safety; details about any broader linkages or motives were not included in initial accounts.
