The Indian Army successfully thwarted a terror ambush in the dense jungles of Battal, Jammu, on October 28, 2024, resulting in the elimination of three terrorists. In the pre-dawn hours, terrorists ambushed an army convoy, prompting a swift and precise response from the troops. There were no casualties among the convoy persons, as troops quickly forced the attackers to retreat.
The operation demonstrated synergy with the Jammu and Kashmir Police (JKP) and the Special Operation Group (SOG), bolstered by local intelligence and community assistance. Troops maintained comprehensive domination of the area, operating under challenging conditions during the night.
Special Forces were mobilized promptly to reinforce the cordon around the fleeing militants. Advanced technology, including night surveillance devices, unmanned ground vehicles & surveillance drones ensured real-time tracking and prevented potential escapes.
Tragically, an Army Dog, Phantom sustained fatal injuries during the operation, underscoring the risk involved for all pers engaged in counter-terrorist operation. The operation underscores the Indian Army’s commitment to peace and stability in the region, with enhanced security measures and local outreach ensuring continuous stability.
We also want to dispel some rumours going around on Social Media about the use of BMPs in this operation. The hardened vehicles were used to close-in with the trapped terrorists. We want to also emphasize that Indian Army is a professional force and no disrespect to the mortal remains of the slain terrorist has been carried out.
