UDHAMPUR, September 17, 2026 – Two unidentified terrorists were killed in an intense overnight encounter with joint security forces in the Majalta area of the Udhampur district in Jammu and Kashmir. The gunfight erupted late Wednesday evening during a highly coordinated, intelligence-based operation launched by the Jammu and Kashmir Police and the Army’s Para (Special Forces). According to official sources, security forces cordoned off the targeted area after receiving specific inputs regarding the presence of terrorists in the region, leading to a fierce exchange of fire that continued through the intervening night.
Following the neutralization of the two terrorists by Thursday morning, security personnel recovered a significant cache of arms and ammunition from the encounter site [cite: 1.1.3]. While the exact identities and affiliations of the slain terrorists are yet to be officially confirmed, authorities suspect their involvement in recent terror-related activities in the region. The successful operation marks a major victory for the security grid ahead of ongoing administrative and political activities in the Union Territory. Despite the elimination of the primary targets, a massive combing and search operation remains underway in the densely forested terrain to rule out the possibility of any remaining terrorists hiding in the vicinity. Additional reinforcements have been rushed to the sector to assist in securing the perimeter and ensuring public safety.
