Under the direction of the Jammu & Kashmir Police’s Special Operations Group (SOG), a special operation was initiated. Team members from the Army, BSF, and CRPF participated in the operation. During the incident, officials reported heavy gunfire and explosives.
Three soldiers were killed in a clash between security forces and militants in Jammu & Kashmir’s Kathua area, while two terrorists were slain. Seven people are being held by the police for interrogation on suspicion of supporting the terrorists.
The Indian Express said that neither the police nor the security forces have yet to provide an official confirmation. One of the police officers killed, however, was a selection-grade constable, according to sources.
It is believed that these people helped the terrorists. Some of them have reportedly assisted terrorists in crossing the border in the past. In 2024, a number of them were also arrested for interrogation.
