Security forces launched an anti-terror operation early Wednesday in the Chhatru sector of Kishtwar district, Jammu & Kashmir. The operation involves the Indian Army’s White Knight Corps and local police units.
Officials said that the forces “established contact” with suspected militants, leading to an ongoing encounter. No information has yet been released regarding casualties or the number of militants involved.
The Chhatru sector in Kishtwar is known for its difficult terrain, which has occasionally provided shelter to militant elements, making security operations challenging.
The operation follows specific intelligence reports about the presence of terrorists in the area. Authorities have advised caution and said updates would be shared as the situation develops.
