Jammu and Kashmir Sees Multiple Terrorist Encounters

Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir engaged in multiple encounters with terrorists on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of two militants in Anantnag's Shangus-Larnoo area, one foreign and one local, whose affiliations remain unconfirmed. Concurrent operations in Srinagar's Khanyar area and Bandipora are continuing, with no casualties reported so far, as security forces maintain cordons and search operations. The recent surge in violence includes two non-local laborers injured in a terrorist attack in Budgam and follows a series of terrorist incidents since a new government took office in the Union Territory. A previous encounter in Akhnoor saw two terrorists killed, with military officials stating the thwarted plan involved a significant strike. Authorities are on high alert to address these escalating security challenges and ensure public safety. These events reflect an ongoing pattern of targeted attacks in the region, particularly against non-natives.
