One terrorist killed in Uri, large quantity of arms and ammunition seized

In a joint operation by security forces in the Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir, a terrorist was killed on Sunday. The Srinagar-based Chinar Corps said that the joint team killed a heavily armed terrorist and recovered one AK rifle, two AK magazines, 57 AK bullets, two pistols, three pistol magazines, and other war-like stores from the site.

Search operation continues

The Chinar Corps said that the search operation and action are ongoing in the area. Earlier, the army had said that a joint anti-infiltration operation was launched in Uri based on intelligence inputs about a possible infiltration bid. The army said that alert soldiers noticed suspicious activity and challenged the terrorists, who then resorted to indiscriminate firing. The alert soldiers also retaliated effectively.

Infiltration attempt to disrupt peace

An official said that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK)-based terrorist centers have been trying to disrupt peace in the Valley for some time. In recent months, terrorists, particularly foreign mercenaries, have carried out several guerrilla attacks on the army, other security forces, and civilians in the hill districts of Poonch, Rajouri, Doda, Kathua, Udhampur, and Reasi in Jammu division.

Terrorists hiding in dense forests and launching attacks

In these districts, terrorists have been hiding in dense forests and launching attacks, and then escaping into the dense forests. To counter this, the Para Commando Force and over 4,000 trained commandos have been deployed in these areas. The army and CRPF have been deployed in these districts, and the police have also provided automatic weapons to the Village Defense Committees (VDCs).

A Bihar resident was murdered a few days ago

VDCs are civilian groups trained to defend their villages and families against terrorists in remote and inaccessible areas of the Jammu division. Terrorists had murdered Ashok Chouhan, a non-local resident of Bihar, in the Jainpura area of Shopian district on Thursday. The officials said that security forces have launched a search operation to track down the killers. The Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, and Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, have condemned the attack.
