The Army released a statement detailing the Kokernag gunfight: “It had been earlier confirmed through human and electronic means on 05 August 2024 that terrorists responsible for atrocities in the Doda region in July 2024 had crossed the Kishtwar range into the Kapran Garol area in South Kashmir. Rashtriya Rifles and J&K Police have relentlessly tracked these terrorists, launching precise operations on the night of 09 & 10 August 2024 in the mountains east of Kapran, where the terrorists were reportedly holed up.”

The statement continued, “Suspicious movement was observed at approximately 1400 hours on 10 August. On being challenged, terrorists responded with indiscriminate and reckless firing, injuring two Army personnel and two civilians in the vicinity. The terror antecedents of the injured civilians are being ascertained.”

The encounter took place in a high-altitude area above 10,000 feet. “The security forces are in the process of hunting down the terrorists,” the Army confirmed.
