Encounter in Kishtwar enters 2nd Day

The Indian Army on Monday continued its anti-militancy operation launched in the general area of Dul in Kishtwar while gunfire between the security forces and militants was exchanged.

While the live details of the operation are not available, deferred visuals showed army soldiers keeping guard a day after gunfire was exchanged while establishing contact with militants on August 10.

In a post on X, the White Knight Corps stated that troops conducting an intelligence-based operation established contact with militants in the area.

The encounter comes a day after two soldiers, Lance Naik Pritpal Singh and Sepoy Harminder Singh, were killed in the line of duty during an operation in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district.

So far, one militant has been killed  in the Kulgam operation, during a gunfight in the Akhal area nearly a week ago. The encounter, which continued overnight, involved the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, CRPF, and the Special Operations Group (SOG).(Agencies)
