NEW DELHI: Two Pakistani terrorists were killed in an ongoing counter-terror operation in the Chhatru region of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, the Indian Army confirmed on Saturday.
“In the ongoing operations at Chhatru, Kishtwar, despite bad and inclement weather, two more Pakistani terrorists have been eliminated. A large quantity of war-like stores including one AK and one M4 rifle have been recovered,” the Army said in a statement.
One of the militants was killed on Friday, while the second was neutralised during continuing operations.
Security forces have intensified surveillance across the region. A day earlier, patrols were expanded to cover the Bhaderwah area of Doda district, as part of broader efforts to monitor terrorist movement across the hilly districts of the Jammu region.
Meanwhile, a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) lost his life while the Indian Army foiled an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Akhnoor Sector, according to Army officials.
