A soldier lost his life during an encounter with terrorists
in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, on Thursday. The White Knight Corps reported
that a fierce gunfight is ongoing, and despite the best medical efforts, one of
the soldiers suffered grievous injuries and succumbed.
Operation Details
Army initiated a cordon and search operation (CASO) after
receiving specific intelligence regarding the presence of three to four
terrorists. As the forces tightened the cordon to prevent the terrorists from
escaping, the militants opened fire, resulting in the current encounter. The
operation, named “Op Trashi,” has seen contact established with the terrorists,
and additional troops have been deployed.
Intensified Operations Against Terrorism
In recent weeks, operations against terrorists and their
supporters in Jammu and Kashmir have intensified. This surge in action follows
a tragic incident on April 22, when Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists killed 26
civilians, including 25 tourists, in Pahalgam. This act of terror sparked
national outrage, prompting India to launch Operation Sindoor, which involved
precision strikes targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Jammu
and Kashmir. However, military operations were paused after Pakistan requested
a ceasefire at the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) level.
Ongoing Terrorist Hunts
Recently, security forces eliminated three Jaish-e-Mohammad
terrorists in the Tral area of south Kashmir, marking the second confrontation
in 48 hours following the deaths of three Lashkar-e-Taiba militants. The
deceased terrorists, all local residents, were killed during an operation in
Nader Tral, assisted by drone surveillance to locate their hideouts.
Authorities have cautioned the public against sharing
sensitive information that could unintentionally promote extremist propaganda.
The police have urged citizens to stay clear of operation sites to ensure
safety.
