Day 7 of the intense anti-terror operation in Akhal, Kulgam continues as security forces remain locked in efforts to neutralize terrorists believed to be hiding in the dense forested region. Intermittent exchange of fire has been reported, indicating the presence and resistance of the militants.
The operation, launched last week following credible intelligence inputs, has involved Army, CRPF, and J&K Police units, employing drone surveillance, thermal imaging, and trained search teams to comb the area.
Sources reveal that the terrain is challenging, but forces remain determined to flush out the terrorists while minimizing civilian disruption. No casualties have been officially confirmed in the last 24 hours.
This prolonged standoff underscores the heightened terror activity in South Kashmir and the vigilance of Indian forces in securing the region. Operations are expected to continue until the area is completely sanitized.
