The exchange of fire continued for some time, and during the ensuing operation, one terrorist was killed. A substantial recovery of arms and ammunition has also been made at the site.”
The area is currently under cordon, with an ongoing search operation to ensure comprehensive security measures. This latest success underscores the continued dedication of security forces to addressing threats promptly and maintaining the safety and peace of the region.
