Security forces on Monday (December 15, 2025) encircled a group of terrorists and engaged them in a fierce gunfight in Jammu’s Udhampur. One policeman is reportedly injured in the ongoing encounter.
“On a precise input, a contact was established with terrorists at Soan village, Majalta, Udhampur. A joint team of SOG [Special Operation Group] along with the Army and the CRPF is on job,” a police spokesman said.
“A very small SOG team engaged the terrorists. Combing of the forest has been impeded due to darkness and treacherous terrain,” the police said.
Officials said a multi-layer cordon had been put in place at the encounter site and reinforcements were rushed to neutralise the terrorists.
