Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur district have initiated a search operation following reports that terrorists took food from a local house before fleeing into nearby forests. The operation is focused on Chore Motu village, approximately 5 km from the site of a recent encounter that resulted in the death of a policeman. Authorities received intelligence indicating the presence of two unidentified terrorists linked to Jaish-e-Mohammad. Despite immediate mobilization of police and paramilitary forces, the terrorists evaded capture, prompting a coordinated combing operation at first light. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by security forces in countering terrorism in the region, highlighting the necessity for vigilance and rapid response in maintaining order and safety.
