Ongoing Encounters in Kishtwar and Srinagar as Security Forces Engage with Militants
An encounter is currently unfolding in the Keshwan area of Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, between security forces and militants, believed to be members of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror group. The firefight, which began on Sunday, has led to three to four militants being trapped. These militants are suspected to be responsible for the recent brutal killings of two village defense guards, an attack that has shaken the nation. Security forces have cordoned off the area as efforts continue to neutralize the militants.
In a separate operation, another encounter broke out on Sunday in the Ishber Nishat area, located on the outskirts of Srinagar. Reports suggest that 2-3 terrorists are trapped inside a residential house in the area, and intense firefighting is ongoing. Security forces have cordoned off the locality and are working to secure the area and neutralize the militants. The situation in both areas remains tense as operations continue.
Security forces are focused on preventing the militants from escaping or causing further harm. While details regarding casualties remain unclear, the encounters in both Kishtwar and Srinagar highlight the persistent security challenges in Jammu and Kashmir. The ongoing firefights underline the constant threat posed by terrorist groups in the region.
Local authorities have issued advisories urging residents to stay away from the affected areas, and the situation is being closely monitored. With these recent attacks and ongoing operations, there is an increased call for enhanced security measures in Jammu and Kashmir.
