Security Operation Underway in Kishtwar
An encounter commenced on Wednesday between militants and security forces in the Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir, as reported by officials. The White Knight Corps shared on the social media platform X that their vigilant soldiers engaged with terrorists in the Chhatru area during an intelligence-led operation coordinated with the Jammu and Kashmir police.
The operation was initiated following intelligence reports indicating the presence of militants in the region. Based on this information, a joint team from the Indian Army's White Knight Corps and the Jammu and Kashmir police launched a search operation in the early hours.
Sources suggest that there may be two to three militants hiding in the area, who have reportedly been active in the region for several months, prompting security forces to closely monitor their activities.
In the higher terrains of Kishtwar, sporadic militant activities have been observed over the past year, leading security forces to intensify their counter-terrorism operations in recent months.
As the operation continues, further updates are awaited.
