A terrorist was gunned down on Thursday during a fierce encounter in the Akhal area of Kulgam district, Jammu and Kashmir. The operation was launched jointly by the Indian Army, CRPF, Special Operations Group (SOG), and J&K Police after receiving credible inputs about terrorist presence. Security forces swiftly cordoned off the area, leading to a heavy exchange of fire. One unidentified terrorist has been neutralised so far, and the operation remains ongoing. Authorities have sealed the region and urged civilians to remain indoors for safety. This operation marks another blow to terrorism in South Kashmir, reinforcing efforts to restore peace.
