Early Tuesday morning in the district of Doda, Jammu and Kashmir, four members of the army, including one officer, tragically lost their lives after being critically injured in a fierce gunfight with heavily armed terrorists. According to official sources, the soldiers were engaged in a joint operation with the Rashtriya Rifles and Special Operations Group of J&K Police at Dhari Gote Urarbagi in the Desa forest area, approximately 55 km away from Doda town.
The operation was launched late Monday evening as part of a cordon and search mission. However, after a brief exchange of fire, the terrorists attempted to flee the scene. The brave soldiers, led by an officer, refused to let them escape and gave chase, despite the challenging terrain and dense foliage. This led to another intense firefight in the surrounding woods around 9 pm.
Unfortunately, during the course of the encounter, five soldiers sustained critical injuries. Despite their valiant efforts, four of them, including the officer in charge, could not survive their wounds and passed away. The loss of these brave souls is a tragic reminder of the dangers our soldiers face every day while protecting our nation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families and loved ones during this difficult time. May their sacrifice never be forgotten.
