The anti-terror operation in Akhal Devsar, Kulgam entered its third day today, with one terrorist confirmed killed so far. Security forces—comprising Indian Army, CRPF, and J&K Police—are continuing a combing operation in the densely forested terrain. Sources suggest that 4–5 terrorists may have been neutralised during intense gunfights, but official confirmation is still awaited. J&K DGP visited the encounter site yesterday, reviewing operational progress and boosting morale. This prolonged operation highlights the heightened alert in South Kashmir amid rising infiltration threats. Authorities have cordoned off the area and are urging locals to cooperate with the ongoing security action.
