In a separate counter-terror operation in Udhampur district of the Jammu division, security forces neutralised two terrorists linked to the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). Officials said the operation began on Tuesday and continued for nearly 24 hours before the terrorists were eliminated.

According to the Indian Army, the action, codenamed Operation KIYA, was launched based on specific intelligence inputs provided by Jammu and Kashmir Police. Troops of CIF Delta under the White Knight Corps, in coordination with JKP and CRPF, carried out a focused joint operation in the Jophar Forest area of Basantgarh.

The Army said a cordon was established and area domination measures were put in place to prevent any escape routes. Contact with the terrorists was made on Tuesday, after which security forces ensured the terrorists were unable to disengage.

“Following a calibrated and coordinated response, two terrorists were successfully neutralised,” the Army said, adding that the operation demonstrated seamless inter-agency coordination, tactical precision and high professional standards.

Officials confirmed that the encounter concluded successfully, though surveillance in the area continues as a precautionary measure.
