Jammu: A massive search operation to track down infiltrating terrorists entered its third day in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district on Tuesday.
The operation began on Sunday in the Hiranagar sector after an encounter between security forces and terrorists hiding in a nursery. Troops, including commandos, drones, and sniffer dogs, are combing the forested area, where the terrorists are believed to be trapped.
No fresh contact has been made, but security forces recovered arms, grenades, and supplies. A seven-year-old girl suffered minor injuries from a stray bullet, and villagers reported spotting armed men in the area.
Authorities suspect multiple terrorist groups infiltrated from across the border. The search operation remains ongoing.
