Two Terrorists Killed In An Encounter In J-K’s Kupwara

Today, officials said that two terrorists were killed in an encounter as security forces foiled an infiltration bid in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district.

Col Emron Musavi, Srinagar-based defence spokesman said, “Based on a specific intelligence input provided by SSP Kupwara of likely infiltration from one of the terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC) towards the Machil sector, troops were put on a high alert on Monday”.

He further said, “A well-coordinated counter-infiltration grid was put in place in this rugged and extremely difficult area. A number of additional ambushes including those of the Indian Army and SOG (J-K police’s special operations group) Kupwara were placed along the likely routes of infiltration”.

Col Emron Musavi went on to say, “The troops in ambushes braved continuous bad weather marked by incessant rainfall, poor visibility and a significant drop in temperature for two consecutive nights”.

On early Wednesday morning, the defence spokesman stated that terrorists were sighted by the troops.

He added, “An intense firefight ensued resulting in the elimination of the two terrorists”.

“Bodies of two terrorists have been recovered along with two AK series rifles, magazines and a huge quantity of war-like stores”, he continued.

Col Musavi stated that a further extensive search of the area is under progress.

Their identification and group allegiance are currently being determined.

The defence spokesman stated that this successful intelligence-based operation is yet another example of close synergy between the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police and all agencies. The security forces stand steadfast to defeat the nefarious designs of inimical elements supported by our adversary to disrupt peace and harmony in the area.
