On May 5th, 2023, two separate terrorist attacks rocked the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The first attack took place in the district of Anantnag, where a military bus carrying around 40 soldiers from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED). The attack left at least 15 soldiers dead and several others seriously injured.
The second attack occurred in the district of Rajouri, where militants opened fire at a local police station. The attack was carried out in the early hours of the morning, when the militants targeted the police station with automatic weapons. The attack resulted in the death of five police officers and left several others injured.
No group has claimed responsibility for either attack yet, but it is suspected that militants from the region may be responsible. 
The attacks have been condemned by political leaders from across the country, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi stating that "the sacrifices of our brave security personnel will not go in vain". The government has vowed to take strong action against those responsible for the attacks and has launched a massive search operation to identify any suspects involved in the attacks.
The attacks are a grim reminder of the challenges faced by security forces in maintaining peace and stability in the region. The government has reiterated its commitment to tackling militancy and terrorism in the region and has called for the support of the international community in its efforts to maintain peace in the troubled region.
