Terrorists killed in Akhnoor encounter were affiliated with JeM

October 31, 2024 | BK News Service

The three terrorists killed in an encounter with security forces in Akhnoor sector of Jammu region were members of banned Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) group and had recently infiltrated into the area from PoK, officials said on Wednesday.
They said the terrorists were planning a major strike, utilising the Akhnoor route traditionally used by operatives of banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group.
According to intelligence reports, the terrorists entered the Akhnoor region through the Battal area, and a wireless set seized from them confirmed their association with the JeM.
Unlike the typical strategies of infiltrating terrorists, who often adopt “conservation and consolidation” tactics, the trio was reportedly aiming for a substantial attack, the officials said.
The officials noted that there were prior reports of terrorist movements in December and April of the previous year.
The encounter broke out on Monday morning when three local teenage boys visiting the Shiv Mandir Assan in Battal encountered the armed terrorists dressed in combat gear.
On being asked by the boys if they were military personnel, the terrorists reacted aggressively, threatening the boys with serious consequences if they talked about their presence to anyone. The terrorists followed the boys until they reached a main road.
As they saw two Army vehicles — a Maruti Gypsy and an ambulance — on the road, the terrorists opened fire targeting the Army convoy and retreated towards the temple.
In response, special forces and National Security Guard (NSG) commandos swiftly launched an operation, resulting in the elimination of all three terrorists.
In an unprecedented move, the Army deployed four BMP-II infantry combat vehicles to enhance surveillance and fortify the cordon around the attack site near the Assan temple in Jogwan village, situated along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Khour area.
The BMP-II, a Soviet-era infantry combat vehicle, is equipped with a 30-mm fully-stabilised automatic cannon, a 7.62-mm machine gun and a range of advanced features, including night vision and smoke-grenade launchers.
Helicopters were also deployed to assist in locating the hiding terrorists in the dense forests of the region.
