The 2023 Rajouri attacks occurred on 1 and 2 January 2023, respectively at the Dangri village of Rajouri district in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The first attack, a shooting, resulted in the death of four and injured nine others.[2][3] In the second attack, an IED exploded near the same attack site, resulting in the death of a child at the scene and injuring five others.[4] A second child injured in that blast died from injuries, raising the overall death toll to six.[5]

The regional political parties of Jammu and Kashmir blamed New Delhi's policies for Kashmir and security lapses due to the administration of Lieutenant Governor of the union territory Manoj Sinha for the Rajouri terror attack. Meanwhile, leaders of Bhartiya Janata Party blamed Pakistan for the attack.[6]

The Hurriyat Conference, led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, denounced the deaths of innocent civilians in Rajouri. The Resistance Front (TRF), a Kashmiri separatist militant group, which according to Indian claims is a "shadow organisation" of Lashkar-e-Taiba,[7] denied that it was a terror strike.[8][9]
