Security forces in Kishtwar, Jammu & Kashmir, achieved a major breakthrough as Operation Trashi-I concluded with the elimination of two terrorists, including a top commander of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) outfit. The successful operation underscores the ongoing efforts of the Indian security apparatus to dismantle terrorist networks in the region.
According to officials, the operation was launched based on credible intelligence inputs about the presence of high-value militants in remote areas of Kishtwar. Acting swiftly, counter-insurgency units cordoned off the targeted zone and engaged the terrorists in a controlled encounter. Both militants were neutralized, while no casualties were reported among the security personnel.
The slain JeM commander is believed to have been involved in multiple terror-related incidents, including attacks on civilians and security forces in the past. Authorities confirmed that the operation has dealt a significant blow to the militant outfit’s operational capabilities in the region.
Local residents welcomed the news, expressing relief at the removal of armed threats from their vicinity. Security forces reiterated that continued vigilance and community cooperation remain crucial in ensuring long-term peace and stability in Kishtwar.
Officials stated that the operation reflects the government’s commitment to neutralizing terrorism and maintaining law and order in Jammu & Kashmir. Investigations are ongoing to trace any remaining network links and prevent the resurgence of militant activities.
The success of Op Trashi-I reinforces the resolve of Indian security forces to act decisively against terrorism, sending a strong message that militancy will not be tolerated in the region.
