Security forces recovered a large stockpile of arms and related equipment used by the insurgents from the location. The identities of the deceased militants have not yet been confirmed and the security forces are still conducting combing operations to eliminate any potential risks.
The region has witnessed heightened militant activity in recent times and this encounter is seen as a significant step in suppressing cross-border insurgency. Security has been tightened along the border and vigilance remains high to prevent any retaliation or infiltration.
This encounter underscores the growing difficulties faced by Indian forces in securing border regions, particularly those prone to militant and insurgent activities.
