Rising encounters between security forces and terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir have become a significant concern in recent months. The region, long marred by insurgency and conflict, has seen an uptick in violent confrontations.
"The entire area has been cordoned off by security personnel and a search operation is being carried out to trace the fleeing militants," Cachar SP Numal Mahatta
The security forces launched the search operation after they received an intel of suspected movement in the area. Early in the morning, four security forces personnel succumbed to their injuries after a search and cordon operation was launched on Monday which eventually turned into an encounter.
The latest incident occurred just a week after a terrorist ambush on an Army patrol in the remote Machedi forest belt in Kathua district, which claimed lives of five soldiers. This series of violent encounters depicts the heightened threats and challenges faced by the security forces in the region.
The encounter took place when the troops of Rashtriya Rifles and Special Operations Group of Jammu and Kashmir Police launched a joint cordon and search operation at Dhari Gote Urarbagi in Desa forest belt.
Earlier in the day, the security forces conducted search operations in Jammu, Doda and Reasi districts on Monday following information about some suspicious movements.
The encounter took place in Sonipat's Kharkhoda area, an officer said, adding that all of them were wanted by the police of Haryana and Delhi.
The meeting has come after recent terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir in the past few weeks. On Monday, at least five soldiers were martyred after terrorists attacked their convoy in Kathua.
A day after an ambush attack on the Indian Army convoy in Kathua, an encounter broke out between the terrorists and the security forces in Doda. Cordon and search operation underway.
