Army officer dies and four suspected terrorists are shot dead during a confrontation in Doda.

In the beautiful region of Jammu, a tragic incident unfolded as an Army captain valiantly lost his life in an ongoing operation. This operation was taking place in the higher reaches of the Doda district, with the hope of bringing down four suspected terrorists. The encounter also resulted in the injury of a civilian, adding to the already tense situation. This unfortunate event occurred just a day before Independence Day, and marks another instance of escalating violence in the Jammu region.

Amidst the dense forest, gunshots could be heard as a joint team launched a cordon and search operation to track down a group of foreign terrorists believed to be hiding in the Shivgarh-Assar belt. The young captain, who was at the forefront of the operation, sustained critical injuries and was immediately taken to a military hospital. However, despite all efforts, he passed away while receiving medical treatment. As officials searched the area, they discovered four rucksacks drenched in blood, leading them to believe that the four terrorists had been killed. Additionally, they also found M-4 carbines, further confirming their suspicions.

According to an official, the terrorists were hiding near a river in Assar. However, the Army's official statement on their social media handle claimed that only one officer was injured during the operation. They also stated that the search for the terrorists was still ongoing amidst intense gunfire. The White Knight Corps, in their post, revealed that they had recovered war-like stores during the operation.

It was reported that the terrorists had crossed into the Doda district from a forest near Patnitop in the adjacent Udhampur district. The encounter with security forces began around 6 pm on Tuesday, after which both sides paused intermittently. As the night fell, a cordon was established around the area, and the search was resumed at dawn. At around 7.30 am, there was a renewed exchange of fire, and officials believe that this is when the Army captain sustained his fatal injuries.

The loss of a brave soldier and the ongoing search for the remaining terrorists are a grim reminder of the security challenges faced by the Jammu region. With the situation still tense and the search operation still in progress, the hope is that peace and safety will soon be restored to this beautiful part of our country.
