In a remote forest village of Jaddan Bata in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district, two army personnel (soldiers) sustained injuries during a fierce gun battle with terrorists on July 18. The confrontation unfolded around 2 am (local time) when militants launched an assault on a temporary security camp established at a government school. The firefight, lasting more than an hour, unfolded amidst adverse weather conditions and difficult terrain, posing significant challenges to the security forces involved.
Meanwhile, in the Sunderbani sector of Rajouri district, security forces stationed at a forward post engaged in gunfire following suspicious movements detected near the Line of Control (LoC) late Wednesday night, underscoring heightened tensions and ongoing vigilance in the region.
These incidents follow the tragic killing of four army personnel, including a captain, in Desa forests earlier in the week. This loss has prompted a massive search operation across Doda, as security forces intensify efforts to track down and eliminate the terrorist group responsible. Despite heavy rains and dense fog exacerbating the conditions, authorities remain steadfast in their mission to restore peace and stability to the area.
The developments underscore the persistent security challenges faced in the region, where armed confrontations and counter-terrorism operations continue amidst challenging environmental factors.
