In a series of intense encounters, two soldiers were killed in action, and four terrorists were gunned down by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district. The back-to-back operations were conducted based on specific intelligence about the presence of terrorists in the area.
The first encounter occurred in Modergam village, where security forces, including the CRPF, Army, and local police, launched a massive assault on a target house believed to be harboring at least two terrorists. The situation quickly escalated as the joint forces established a cordon to trap the terrorists. During the initial exchange of gunfire, a soldier sustained injuries and later succumbed during treatment.
The second encounter took place in the Frisal area of Kulgam, where drone footage revealed the bodies of four terrorists killed in a fierce gun battle. One army soldier was killed in action, and another was injured. The security forces are still engaged in the operation, with suspicions that two more terrorists remain present at the encounter site. The bodies of the terrorists have not yet been retrieved due to heavy fire from the target location.
The Kulgam district has recently witnessed a surge in terrorist activities, with several encounters reported across different regions of Jammu and Kashmir. Just last month, security forces neutralized three terrorists in the Gandoh area of district Doda, highlighting the ongoing challenges in combating terrorism in the region.
The encounters in Kulgam underscore the persistent threat of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and the relentless efforts of security forces to maintain peace and security. As operations continue, the sacrifices of the brave soldiers who laid down their lives in the line of duty are remembered and honored.
