New Delhi: The Indian army’s fight against terrorism continued on with a major success as Indian Army personnel eliminated three terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district. Official sources claim that the three eliminated terrorists were affiliated with the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) outfit. The operation, which began earlier this week in the snow-covered Chhatru area of Kishtwar, intensified over the weekend, with two militants killed on Saturday and one on Friday night.
According to official sources, the slain terrorists included a top JeM commander, Saifullah, who had been operating in the Chenab Valley region for over a year. His neutralization marks a significant blow to militant activity in the area. The Army’s Jammu-based White Knight Corps confirmed the developments, stating that the troops braved inclement weather to carry out the operation.
A considerable cache of war-like stores was recovered from the site, including an AK-47 rifle, an M4 rifle, multiple rounds of ammunition, and medical supplies, all of which highlight the preparedness and intent of the militant group. The Army has not scaled down its presence, with operations ongoing in the area.
Meanwhile, a separate anti-terror operation is underway in Udhampur’s Basantgarh and Ramnagar regions, where security forces are tracking another group of three terrorists believed to have infiltrated the region. With heightened deployment and continued surveillance, security forces remain on high alert across Jammu and Kashmir. The operations underscore India’s unwavering resolve in countering cross-border terrorism and ensuring the safety of its citizens in volatile regions.
