PRO Defence Jammu said that in a coordinated counter-terrorism operation, troops of Indian Army launched ‘Operation ShivShakti’ in the Poonch Sector during early hours of 30 Jul 25. The operation was based on credible intelligence inputs acquired by synergistic and synchronised intelligence coordination by military and civil intelligence units in concert with J&K Police regarding the presence of terrorists in the area.
Acting swiftly on the inputs, the security forces laid coordinated ambushes on the appreciated infiltration routes. A fierce gunfight ensued between the security forces and terrorists along the Line of Control in the early morning hours of 30 Jul 25, leading to the neutralisation of two terrorists and recovery of large quantity of war like stores. The swift, coordinated and decisive action by security forces prevented any collateral damage and ensured the safety of local population, PRO said.
He said the recovered war like stores include two assault rifles with ammunition, one pistol with ammunition, hand grenades, two Improvised Explosive Devices, medicines, communication device and other logistic stores. The huge recovery of war like & logistic stores indicate that the terrorists were well-prepared for prolonged engagement.
The Defence official continued that this operation highlights high level of synergy, coordination and commitment on part of Indian Army and other security agencies towards maintaining peace and security in the region.
Op ShivShakti is a major setback to nefarious designs of Pakistan sponsored terrorist organisations that are constantly abetting acts of terror in Jammu & Kashmir region, he said, and added, "Search operation is in progress in the surrounding areas to rule out the presence of any more terrorists in the area".
