An encounter broke out between between security forces and terrorists on Thursday morning, in Kishtwar district, Jammu and Kashmir.
The encounter comes days after India carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7, following which Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10. The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions. Nearly 100 terror operatives were eliminated at key bases across Pakistan. Notable targets included Bhawalpur, the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Muridke, a major training base of Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Exchange of fire started between Security Forces and terrorists in the Singhpora area of Chatroo in Kishtwar,” Jammu and Kashmir Police said.
“Op Trashi. Contact has been established with terrorists during a joint #operation with @JmuKmrPolice at #Chhatru, #Kishtwar today morning. Additional troops have been inducted, and operations are ongoing to neutralize the terrorists,” said White Knight Corps in a post on X.
VK Birdi, inspector general of police (IGP), Kashmir, recently said that due to the intensified focus of various security agencies and the coordination between them, two successful operations were conducted and six terrorists killed in the last three days. He termed the elimination of the ultras “significant achievements”.
The encounters took place in the Keller area of Shopian and Nadar area of Tral in Pulwama on May 13 and May 15, respectively.
