Two Jaish-e-Mohammad commanders, identified as Mavi and Zubair, were killed in a coordinated anti-terror operation in Udhampur district's Jaffer forest area on Wednesday. Security forces comprising J&K Police, Indian Army, and CRPF discovered the terrorists inside a natural cave near Ramnagar around 4 pm Tuesday. The initial gunbattle lasted over an hour, with firing resuming at 7:30 pm when terrorists attempted escaping under darkness. Army reinforcements including paratroopers and dog squads tightened the cordon overnight. Following specific intelligence inputs under Operation Kiya, forces conducted a final assault Wednesday morning, neutralizing both terrorists. Authorities recovered an AK-47 and M4 carbine from their possession, praising the seamless inter-agency coordination and tactical precision displayed throughout the operation.
