In a tense and tragic standoff in Jammu & Kashmir’s Kathua district, four policemen were martyred while three terrorists were gunned down by the security forces. The operation, which took place in the remote forests of Kathua, was part of an ongoing effort to flush out militants operating in the region. The tragic events unfolded in the early hours of the morning when security forces received actionable intelligence about the presence of a terror group in the area.
The police, supported by army personnel, launched an operation to neutralize the terrorists before they could carry out any attacks. As the security forces moved in, they were met with intense gunfire from the militants, who had fortified their positions in the rugged terrain. The battle, which raged for hours, ended with the deaths of three terrorists, but the cost for the security forces was high.
Four policemen, who had been part of the operation, were killed during the exchange of fire. Their deaths have deeply affected the local community, as these officers were known for their unwavering commitment to protecting the people of Jammu & Kashmir. The fallen policemen were honored posthumously for their valor and sacrifice.
While the killing of the three terrorists is seen as a success for the security forces, it also serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by terrorist organizations operating in the region, particularly along the Pakistan border.
