Jammu: Indian troops have initiated a large-scale search operation in the Kathua district of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, marking a significant military engagement in the region.
According to a statement by Kashmir Media Service, the operation commenced early in the morning in the Bhatodi panchayat area of Billawar. The action was reportedly spurred by suspicious activity near a temporary army camp, resulting in an exchange of fire lasting nearly thirty minutes. Officials noted that no casualties were reported on either side during the incident.
Following the encounter, the area has been cordoned off by Indian troops, who have begun combing operations across the adjacent forested regions. The operation is ongoing, and authorities have not released additional details at this time.
The situation remains tense as the search efforts continue, with local communities closely monitoring developments.
