In a continued crackdown against militants in Jammu and Kashmir, two Indian Army soldiers sustained injuries in an encounter with terrorists linked to a recent deadly attack in Kishtwar. The encounter unfolded in the higher reaches of Kishtwar, where a search operation led to a firefight with militants who allegedly killed two Village Defence Guards in a targeted attack.
The operation, initiated shortly after the attack, highlights ongoing security efforts in the region, particularly in mountainous terrains known for harboring insurgent groups. Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed a surge in militant activities, prompting the armed forces to intensify their anti-terror operations. The government has commended local defense volunteers and Village Defence Guards for aiding security forces and countering militant influence in remote areas.
As the security forces focus on rooting out insurgency, they have committed to securing the safety of local communities. This incident underscores both the threats faced by civilians and the role of armed forces in maintaining regional stability.
