Poonch, Jul 30: A fierce encounter broke out between security forces and terrorists in the Kasaliyan area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district. Two Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives are believed to be trapped in the ongoing exchange of fire.
According to defence sources, the operation was launched following specific intelligence inputs from Jammu and Kashmir Police. The Indian Army swiftly moved into action, sealing off the area and engaging in a gunfight after spotting suspicious movement near the fence late last night.
An Army spokesperson confirmed that troops noticed two individuals moving suspiciously along the fence in the general area of Poonch. The troops immediately challenged them, leading to a heavy exchange of gunfire.
Security personnel have cordoned off the region, and reinforcements have been deployed as the encounter continues. The area remains on high alert as forces work to neutralize the threat. The situation is tense, and more updates are expected as the operation progresses.
