A fierce encounter occurred between security forces and terrorists on the night of March 23, 2025, in the Hiranagar sector of Kathua district, Jammu and Kashmir. The operation was launched based on credible intelligence of the presence of heavily armed militants along the International Border (IB).
In response to inputs on suspicious movements, the joint team of the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) conducted a search operation in the Sanyal village near the IB in the Hiranagar sector. The security personnel, having cordoned off the area in which the terrorists were suspected to be hiding, the latter responded with firing. This initiated an intense gunfight.
Casualties and Injuries
The firing exchange left a minor girl injured. She was immediately brought to a nearby hospital, where she is stated to be in stable condition. There are no other civilian casualties reported to date.
Reinforcements and Ongoing Operations
As a response to the mounting situation, further reinforcements have been sent to the site of the encounter in order to ensure that no attempt at escape by the terrorists is made. The security forces have tightened the cordon and are carrying out systematic search operations within the thickly forested region to eliminate the militants.
