Unfortunately, earlier in the day, the Indian Army’s Malinois dog, Phantom, lost its life in the operation after terrorists fired upon an Army convoy near Asan in the Sunderbani Sector.
The canine, a Belgian Malinois, was born on May 25, 2020, and was posted in the force on August 12, 2022. The Indian Army’s White Knight Corps remembered Phantom’s contribution, stating that his “courage, loyalty, and dedication” will never be forgotten.
“As our troops were closing in on the trapped terrorists, Phantom drew enemy fire, sustaining fatal injuries. His courage, loyalty, and dedication will never be forgotten. In the ongoing operation, one terrorist has been neutralised, and warlike stores have been recovered thus far,” the post added.
