On March 23, 2025, security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district engaged in an encounter after spotting a group of militants in the Hiranagar sector's Saida Sukhal village. The operation began when intelligence inputs indicated the presence of ultras in the area. As forces cordoned off the village, militants opened fire, leading to a gunbattle. The encounter resulted in the elimination of two militants, identified as Pakistani nationals affiliated with the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror outfit. One CRPF personnel was martyred, and two police officers sustained injuries during the operation. This incident underscores the persistent security challenges in the region, especially with upcoming local elections. (PC: The Tribune)
