A Pakistani Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist was killed during a joint counter-terrorism operation by Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Army, and CRPF in Kathua district's Billawar area on Friday. The operation was launched following specific intelligence inputs, with the area being cordoned off before contact was established. Search operations continue in the region. This incident occurs just ten days after security forces discovered three terrorist hideouts in the same area. Meanwhile, a separate operation is ongoing in Kishtwar district for the third consecutive day, where terrorists fled into forests after a gunfight that killed one paratrooper and injured seven others. Senior officials are monitoring both operations closely on the ground. (PC: X)
