Operation Sohan: 2 terrorists neutralised in Udhampur encounter; search operations underway
Two terrorists were killed in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur district on Thursday, officials said. The operation was launched after security forces received information about suspected terrorist movement in the Majalta forest area.
During the night of September 16-17, a joint counter-terrorism operation named Operation Sohan was launched in Udhampur district, Jammu and Kashmir, to neutralize terrorists. The Army's White Knight Corps, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) participated in the operation after receiving intelligence about terrorists in the Brattal area.
Despite hostile weather, difficult terrain, and poor visibility, security forces successfully neutralized two terrorists. However, the operation has not been called off, and search and surveillance activities are ongoing in the area. The White Knight Corps emphasized that security forces remain deployed to track and neutralize any remaining threat.
The operation's challenges include conducting counter-terror activities in forested and mountainous terrain, especially under adverse weather conditions and poor visibility. Further details, such as the identities of the terrorists and recovered materials, are awaited from security forces.
