Security forces gun down 3 Jaish terrorists in Kashmir's Tral

Three terrorists belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) were killed on Thursday in a gunfight with security forces in the Nader area of Tral, Awantipora, in Pulwama district, Jammu and Kashmir. The encounter began after security forces launched a cordon and search operation based on specific intelligence inputs about terrorist presence.

The operation escalated into an exchange of fire when the terrorists opened fire on the advancing forces, which retaliated promptly. The gunfight remains ongoing, with security forces maintaining their efforts to clear the area and neutralize any remaining militants.

A police official confirmed the details, stating that the joint operation is actively being conducted by police and other security agencies. No further information has been released regarding the identities of the slain terrorists or any additional developments.

Separately, in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district, security forces have launched a search operation in the Bhaga forest area after a local woman reported sighting two suspicious individuals on Wednesday night. The search is being carried out by a joint team of security personnel with aerial support to cover the forested region thoroughly.

The encounter in Tral follows a series of intensified counter-terror operations across Jammu and Kashmir aimed at dismantling terrorist networks. Security forces continue their vigilance and coordinated actions under broader initiatives to ensure regional stability and safety.
