Two Terrorists Killed in Joint Security Operation in Jammu and Kashmir's UdhampurPreviousNext

Security forces conducted a joint anti-terror operation in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur district on the night of September 16-17, targeting suspected terrorists in the Majalta area. The operation involved the Army, police, CRPF, and special forces, and resulted in the killing of two unidentified terrorists, believed to be foreign nationals possibly linked to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad. Arms and ammunition were recovered, and search operations continue to ensure no further threats remain in the forested terrain.
