Two Army personnel, including a Junior Commissioned Officer, were killed and two injured in a gunfight with terrorists in Kishtwar district on Friday. Simultaneously, security forces neutralized one militant in Baramulla, with 2-3 others trapped in the Chak Tapper area. The Kishtwar encounter ensued when a joint Army-police team launched a cordon-and-search operation in Naidgham area, following a tip-off. The incidents occurred just days before the first phase of Jammu and Kashmir's Assembly elections, prompting heightened security measures. The operations are ongoing, with forces working to neutralize the remaining militants.
