A brutal terrorist attack in Baramulla district, Jammu and Kashmir, claimed the lives of two Indian soldiers and two porters on Friday. This tragic incident, occurring in the Butapathri area, has shocked the region and elicited a strong response from the Indian Army.
The Chinar Corps of the Indian Army confirmed the exchange of fire through a post on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the dire situation. J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha expressed his condolences to the families of the fallen and promised a swift and decisive retaliation. “Spoke to top army officials regarding the heinous terror attack in Butapathri Sector. I directed a rapid and appropriate response to neutralize the terrorists. An operation is in progress. The sacrifice of our martyrs will not go in vain. Condolences to their families. Praying for the speedy recovery of the injured,” he stated.
This attack in Baramulla follows closely on the heels of a shooting in Gagangir, Ganderbal district, where terrorists targeted civilians, resulting in the deaths of one doctor and six construction workers. The increasing frequency of such attacks underscores the persistent security challenges in the region and the urgent need for effective counter-terrorism strategies.
The Indian Army, renowned for its steadfast dedication to national defense, has initiated an operation to neutralize the terrorists responsible for the Baramulla attack. The operation is ongoing, and updates are anticipated. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the volatile situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the sacrifices made by security forces to protect the nation.
