2 soldiers martyred in action in Jammu Kashmir's Anantnag dist

Srinagar: Two soldiers were martyred during a fierce gunfight with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district on Saturday.

A soldier and two civilians also sustained injuries.

The encounter started in Anantnag district's Ahlan Gadole this afternoon.

Terrorists attacked the army patrol during an anti-terror operation in the forest in the Kokernag subdivision.

Paratroopers from the army's special forces are involved in the operation to eliminate terrorists suspected to be foreigners.

Today's gunbattle marks the second major encounter in Kokernag within the past year.

In September 2023, a Commanding Officer, a Major, and a Deputy Superintendent of Police were among those killed during a confrontation with terrorists in the Kokernag forest.

"Two civilians have also been reported injured due to indiscriminate, desperate and reckless firing by terrorists in the ongoing operation; they have been provided immediate medical aid and evacuated further. Operations are under progress," the Indian Army's Chinar Corps said in a post on X.

Reinforcement has been rushed to the area to flush out terrorists, believed to be entrenched in Ahlan Gadole forests.
