Four suspected terrorists spotted scaling Ramtund peak in J&K's Doda; search operation under way
The Ramtund area lies close to the Seoj Dhar belt of the Udhampur district, a remote and heavily forested mountainous region used by terrorists as a route for movement
Recent footage has surfaced showing four individuals scaling Ramtund Peak in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district, leading to a significant anti-terror operation, officials announced on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. Ramtund Peak, situated near the Seoj Dhar belt in Udhampur district, is a remote and forested mountainous region that terrorists frequently use for movement and as a hideout.
The area's challenging terrain, dense forests, and connections to neighboring mountain ranges make it strategically sensitive from a security standpoint. Local sources reported that residents captured the video and promptly informed security forces on Monday afternoon, August 10, 2026. They informed that the latest sighting has prompted a major search operation, with security forces scouring the surrounding forests, ridgelines, and mountain tracks to locate the suspected group.
Reinforcements from the Army, police, and CRPF have been mobilized from Udhampur on Tuesday morning, and a substantial operation is currently underway, according to sources. Preliminary information indicates that the group may consist of three foreign terrorists and one local, although no contact has been established with the suspected terrorists so far.
Due to the area's past use as an infiltration, transit, and concealment route by terrorists, security agencies have heightened vigilance in the region.
