Army kills one terrorist in forest area of J&K’s Budgam
As the area of operation falls in the vicinity of Doodhpathri, authorities have asked tourists not to visit the tourist location until further orders, officials said
On September 4, 2026, a joint operation by the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) resulted in the death of one terrorist in a forest area of Budgam district, Jammu and Kashmir. The operation was initiated following intelligence reports about the movement of a suspected terrorist group from Pakherpora in Pulwama district towards Yousmarg in Budgam.
Chinar Corps, based in Srinagar, announced the operation on X, stating that "vigilant troops observed suspicious activity and upon being challenged, terrorists opened fire, prompting a fierce exchange of gunfire." During this exchange, one terrorist was neutralised and an AK rifle was recovered. The search for another suspected terrorist, believed to be hiding in the same area, continues.
