Images have emerged of two of the three terrorists killed in an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir’s Akhnoor sector on Tuesday. The terrorists were killed in a gunfight after they opened fire on an Army vehicle on Monday.
Security forces used drone surveillance to capture images of two of the terrorists. While the body of one terrorist has been recovered, efforts are underway to retrieve the other two.
The three terrorists were killed on Monday, but their death was confirmed today through drone-captured images.
At around 7 am in the Batal area of Akhnoor on Monday, three terrorists opened multiple rounds of fire at the Army vehicle. The security forces promptly cordoned off the area and launched a manhunt.
The Army recovered several weapons and other war-like stores, including medicines, dry fruits and rations from the killed terrorists, which indicates that they had come for a long haul.
The incident took place as security forces in Jammu and Kashmir had implemented elaborate security measures in the Jammu region in preparation for the Diwali festival season.
The news comes four days after terrorists ambushed an Army vehicle near Gulmarg in Baramulla, killing two soldiers and two porters on October 24.
Earlier that day, a teenager from Uttar Pradesh was injured in a separate attack in Tral, marking the third assault on migrant workers in Kashmir within a week.
On October 20, terrorists killed seven people, including a doctor and six migrant workers, at a construction site in Sonamarg, Ganderbal district. Another migrant worker from Bihar was attacked two days before this incident. In vire of these repeated terrorist attacks, a high-level meeting was held at Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor’s house on October 24.
