Jammu: A brief exchange of fire is going on along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Khari Karmara area of J&K’s Poonch district between security forces and militants on Thursday after security forces detected a terrorist movement.
Army White Knight Corps in a post on X, shared “Terrorist movement detected in Poonch sector along the Line of control. Alert troops opened fire leading to a heavy exchange of fire. Operations are underway.”
Defence sources said two terrorists have been killed in this encounter so far, but official confirmation is still awaited.
Security forces have been maintaining high vigil in the hinterland while the army is maintaining 24X7 vigil on the LoC to ensure that the terrorists do not sneak into the Indian side of the LoC to disturb peace and tranquillity in J&K.
On Wednesday, security forces carried out massive searches in 25 locations in the Rajouri district in an anti-terrorist operation to trace over ground workers (OGWs) of terrorists. Searches were also started by joint forces in the Doda district today after locals reported the movement of some suspicious persons in those areas.
Heightened vigil is being maintained in addition to the aggressive pursuit of terrorists by the security forces after the terrorists carried out some dastardly attacks towards the last quarter of last year.
On October 20, 2024, terrorists killed seven people, including six non-local workers of an infrastructure company and a local doctor in the Gagangir area of the Ganderbal district.
