Jammu and Kashmir Three Soldiers Injured in Kulgam Encounter

In a tense encounter in Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir, three soldiers were injured during a clash between security forces and militants. A police officer was also wounded in the gunfire. The incident occurred early this morning when security forces launched a search operation in the Adigam area, following intelligence reports that 2-3 militants were hiding in the vicinity.

As the search operation progressed, militants opened fire on the security personnel, prompting a retaliatory response from the forces. The injured soldiers are currently being treated, and the search operation remains ongoing. The entire area has been cordoned off as security forces work to apprehend the militants.

Joint Operation Involving Multiple Agencies

The operation involves the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and other security agencies. Local administration is closely monitoring the situation as operations against militants continue to intensify in the region.

Security forces have been actively conducting search operations to clamp down on militant activities in the valley. Recently, a similar encounter occurred in the Gurinal village of Kishtwar, where firing resumed after contact was established between security forces and militants in the nearby Danna Dhaar forest area.

Recent Arrests of Jaish-e-Mohammed Associates

In another development, Jammu and Kashmir Police foiled a major plot by militants in Pulwama on Friday, arresting six associates of Jaish-e-Mohammed. These individuals were reportedly identifying local youth and encouraging them to join militant organizations. Following intelligence reports, police conducted the operation, recovering a significant cache of weapons and ammunition from the suspects.

The ongoing efforts by security forces aim to ensure peace and stability in the region amidst persistent threats from militant groups.
