An intense clash in the Baji Mall forests of Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district resulted in the death of one army officer and left three soldiers injured. The confrontation ensued as special forces and police initiated a joint operation based on intelligence regarding terrorist presence in the area. The Pir Panjal forest has posed challenges for security forces due to its dense terrain, exploited by terrorists to conceal their positions. Recent encounters highlight the ongoing struggle, with last week witnessing a terrorist killed during a Cordon and Search Operation in the Guller-Behrote area of Budhal tehsil. Despite recent successes, the forests pose an operational challenge for security forces as terrorists exploit the landscape to their advantage. [Image: Representative]
