Security forces have intensified their efforts in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur district following credible intelligence on terrorist activity.

A joint search operation by police and the Army was initiated in the Pathi Nalla Khanerd area of Basantgarh, based on the tipoff.

As forces navigated the dense forest, gunshots rang out, heightening the tension. Officials confirmed that no casualties have been reported yet, and the operation to hunt down the terrorists is ongoing. This follows an incident in April where a village defense guard lost his life in a gunfight with terrorists in Basantgarh's Dudu area.
