Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir are engaged in two major counter-terrorism operations — one in Rajouri and another in Udhampur — after receiving intelligence about the movement of heavily armed militants in both areas.
Security forces are carrying out multiple counter-terrorism operations in Jammu and Kashmir, aimed at neutralising terrorist threats in the region. The first of these operations commenced in the Rajouri district, located in the Jammu division.
On Tuesday night, a fierce exchange of gunfire erupted between terrorists and the Jammu and Kashmir Police’s elite Special Operations Group (SOG) in the Beeranthub area, under the jurisdiction of Kandi Police Station in Rajouri. Acting on credible intelligence, security forces received information about the presence of three to four heavily armed terrorists hiding in the area.
Following this tip-off, a joint team of security forces launched a cordon-and-search operation to locate and neutralise the threat. As the forces tightened the cordon, the terrorists opened fire, triggering an intense gun battle. The operation is ongoing, with security forces maintaining a strong presence to ensure the area is secured, and the terrorists are apprehended or neutralised.
The second counter-terrorism operation is underway in the rugged terrain of Dharni Top, located in the Basantgarh area of Udhampur district, Jammu and Kashmir. According to reliable intelligence received by security forces, three suspected terrorists were observed navigating through the densely forested region of this remote area.
