Tragic Loss in Jammu and Kashmir: Two Army Officers and Soldiers Martyred in Anti-Terror Operation
In a valiant operation in the Kalakot forests of Rajouri district, Jammu and Kashmir, two army officers and two soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice during a fierce encounter with terrorists. The operation, a joint effort by the army’s special forces and the police, was initiated based on intelligence inputs indicating the presence of terrorists in the forest area.
The Pir Panjal forest, known for its challenging terrain, has posed difficulties for security forces in recent years as terrorists exploit its dense cover to conceal their positions. The treacherous mountains, dense jungles, and alpine forests provide ideal hiding spots for terrorists.
This tragic incident follows a series of encounters in the region, reflecting the persistent threat faced by security forces. The encounter occurred during a Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) in the Guller-Behrote area of Budhal tehsil.
