In a tragic incident, four Army personnel, including two captains, lost their lives, and two others sustained injuries during a fierce encounter between security forces and terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district on Wednesday. The ongoing gunfight witnessed the deployment of additional troops to neutralize two trapped terrorists. The casualties include two captains, a havildar, and a jawan, while a major and another jawan suffered injuries, requiring their transfer to the Army’s Command Hospital in Udhampur for treatment.
The encounter unfolded in the Bajimaal area of Dharmsal during a cordon-and-search operation conducted by joint forces of the Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police. The operation was initiated based on specific intelligence, as mentioned in a post by the White Knight Corps of the Army. The joint operations were launched in the Kalakote area of Gulabgarh forest in Rajouri on Sunday. The intensity of the operation has escalated with the addition of extra troops. Residents reported an ongoing cordon-and-search operation in the area since Sunday aimed at tracking down terrorists.
This unfortunate incident underscores the persistent challenges faced by security forces in counter-terrorism operations in the region. The loss of lives and injuries among Army personnel highlights the complexities and risks associated with ensuring peace and security in conflict-prone zones like Jammu and Kashmir.
