On May 13, 2025, three militants were killed in an encounter in Shopian, South Kashmir, following intelligence on their presence in Shoekal Keller. The operation, led by the Indian Army's Rashtriya Rifles, involved heavy exchange of fire. This event occurred a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed decisive action against terrorism, referencing India's recent strikes on terrorist sites in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan, following the killing of 26 civilians in Pahalgam last month. Authorities have not disclosed further details as the operation continues. The encounter also follows the killing of a Hizbul Mujahideen militant’s brother, identified as a militant associate, in Bandipora district two weeks prior. (PC: AP Photo)
