In a deadly turn of events in Jammu & Kashmir’s Kathua district, four police officers were martyred while fighting terrorists in a high-intensity encounter. The terrorists, suspected to be from a cross-border militant group, had been planning an attack in the region. Intelligence reports indicated their presence in a remote part of the district, prompting an immediate operation by the police and military personnel.
The gunfight broke out when the security forces surrounded the terrorists, who opened fire at them from their concealed positions. The situation escalated into a fierce battle, which lasted for several hours. Despite successfully neutralizing three terrorists, the operation came at a high cost, with four police officers losing their lives.
Local authorities and citizens have expressed their sorrow over the tragic loss of the officers, who were known for their courage and unwavering commitment to public safety. The loss has once again raised questions about the safety and challenges faced by security forces in the region.
