Security Forces Conduct Multiple Search Operations in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch District
Security forces and police conducted multiple search operations at four locations in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district on October 16, 2026, to enhance security and monitor potential terrorist activity. These operations followed the killing of four suspected terrorists from Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir in a suspected IED blast near the Line of Control and the discovery of a terrorist hideout in the Satharban forests, where weapons and ammunition were recovered. The searches involved the Special Operations Group and the Army's Rashtriya Rifles across various forested and village areas.
