Jammu, Nov 10: In a tense operation in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, four Indian Army soldiers sustained injuries on Sunday during a gunfight with suspected terrorists in the remote forests of Keshwan.
The encounter began around 11 am, as Army and police teams intercepted the group following intelligence inputs on terrorist movement in the area, officials confirmed. The operation is part of a broader manhunt that began last week after the abduction and killing of two Village Defence Guards (VDGs) – Nazir Ahmad and Kuldeep Kumar.
