Two heavily armed foreign terrorists were neutralized on Thursday during an intense joint counter-insurgency operation conducted by the Indian Army’s special forces and Jammu and Kashmir Police across the dense forested ridges of Udhampur district. The engagement commenced after search teams established contact with a concealed group of infiltrating militants inside rugged mountainous terrain.
Security forces had cordoned off the ridgeline following specific electronic intercepts indicating the movement of a heavily armed Pakistani terror cell attempting to traverse toward southern Pir Panjal ranges. When challenged, the holed-up militants opened indiscriminate automatic fire and threw fragmentation grenades, triggering a fierce tactical gunfight that lasted several hours before both hostile combatants were eliminated.
Troops recovered two assault rifles, specialized thermal sniper sights, night-vision equipment, satellite phones, and a significant quantity of combat ammunition from the encounter site. Senior military commanders commended the operational synergy demonstrated by ground formations, noting that sanitization operations are continuing to rule out the presence of secondary supporting elements in the surrounding ravines.
