Anantnag, Jammu-Kashmir – In a significant operation against terrorism, Indian Army personnel have killed two terrorists during an encounter in Halkan Gali, Anantnag district, as part of an ongoing series of confrontations aimed at eradicating militant activity in Jammu-Kashmir. The encounter marks a continuation of intensified military efforts in the region, which has seen a troubling rise in terrorist attacks over the past few months. Security forces have been engaged in multiple operations across the valley, with recent operations centered around the districts of Anantnag and Srinagar. According to reports, the latest engagement in Anantnag ensued after intelligence indicated the presence of two terrorists hiding in a residential area.
Upon arrival, security forces came under fire from the militants, prompting a swift and effective response. The confrontation led to the elimination of both terrorists involved. In addition to the situation in Anantnag, a separate encounter is ongoing in the Khanyar area of Srinagar, where security forces are actively pursuing terrorist suspects.
