In the Machil sector of Kupwara, security forces killed two terrorists during an encounter. Similarly, another terrorist was eliminated in the Tangdhar sector during a gunfight.
On Wednesday night, security forces noticed terrorist movements in the Tangdhar sector and immediately launched a massive operation in the area. Meanwhile, spotting movements of two to three militants in the Machil sector, the 57 Rashtriya Rifles (RR) troops swung into action, conducting a search operation. These operations in both regions led to the elimination of three terrorists by the security forces.
