Farooq Abdullah, the president of the National Conference, stated Wednesday that encounters in the Union Territory continue to occur, adding that “there is nothing new” in response to the Akhnoor encounter.
“Encounters continue to occur; this is nothing new. We will continue to kill terrorists as long as they continue to come. Abdullah Farooq Said. Farooq Abdullah also wished the people of Jammu and Kashmir a happy Diwali and hoped that Maa Lakshmi would grant them blessings.
“Diwali should be celebrated by all. The festival is huge. Abdullah remarked, “I pray that Maa Lakshmi may bless the people of Jammu and Kashmir.”
The anti-terror operation was part of Indian security forces’ counter-offensive Operation Asan, launched after terrorists attacked an Army convoy in the Battal area on October 28. Security forces neutralized three terrorists in a high-stakes encounter in Akhnoor, Jammu and Kashmir, following an attack on an Army convoy.
According to security forces, the terrorists fired on an Army ambulance, prompting immediate retaliation. Indian security troops and Jammu and Kashmir police launched a coordinated search and quickly closed off the region.
Following 24-hour observation, the White Knight Corps of the Indian Army spearheaded the operation and confronted the terrorists. An official statement from the White Knight Corps stated, “After surveillance throughout the night, an intense conflict transpired this morning, culminating in a substantial victory for our fighters.”
Additionally, the encounter resulted in the retrieval of war-like items from the location, which Army authorities say will be crucial to the area’s security.
Unfortunately, the ultimate sacrifice was made by Phantom, a Belgian Malinois dog from the Indian Army’s canine squad.
Born on May 25, 2020, Phantom enlisted in the Army in August 2022 and was a member of the group that was chasing down the terrorists in the Sunderbani area. While assisting security troops in their approach on the enemy position, he was slain.
