J&K terror attack: 2 soldiers dead in Anantnag, search operation underway

On August 10, two soldiers lost their lives in an intense exchange of gunfire with terrorists in Anantnag, Jammu and Kashmir. The clash erupted during a joint operation involving the Indian Army, J&K Police, and CRPF in Kokernag at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Despite the challenging terrain, security forces have cordoned off the area and launched a manhunt to apprehend terrorists hiding in dense forests. Earlier the same day, police released sketches of four terrorists, who were last seen in Malhar, Bani, and Seojdhar, offering a 5 lakh bounty for information leading to their capture. On August 11, search operations intensified in Kishtwar following a firefight between terrorists and security forces. The recent months have seen a troubling increase in Jammu and Kashmir terror attacks, resulting in the deaths of over 10 soldiers and numerous civilians, escalating the need for heightened security measures.
