Jammu & Kashmir Encounter: 3 Jawans Injured In Gunfight With Terrorists In Kupwara

Three army personnel sustained injuries during an exchange of fire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Saturday. The incident occurred near the Kumkadi post in the Trehgam sector of the north Kashmir district. “Some exchange of fire took place near the Kumkadi post in Trehgam sector of the north Kashmir district,” one of the officials told PTI. He added that three Army personnel were injured in the firing and further details are awaited as the operation is ongoing.

This marks the fourth encounter in Kupwara within the past month. Earlier this week, a terrorist was neutralized, and a non-commissioned officer (NCO) was injured in a similar exchange of fire. The Army, in collaboration with Jammu and Kashmir Police, launched a search operation based on specific intelligence, leading to the recent confrontation. Notably, recent events include the successful foiling of infiltration attempts in Kupwara’s Keran sector, resulting in the elimination of multiple terrorists.
