An encounter is underway between security forces and terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, with contact having been established in the general Passerkut area. Troops from the White Knight Corps, along with JmuKmrPolice and CRPF, are in a joint operation and have cordoned off the area as the firefight continues. The update underscores the ongoing nature of the operation and the collaborative effort among security agencies to neutralize the threat.
