Nine terrorists eliminated by the Indian army in Kashmir valley in the last 24 hours


Three soldiers of the Indian Army have died and five terrorists killed on Sunday during an anti-infiltration operation in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district, officials said.

Sources said four more soldiers have been injured during the operation to flush out infiltrators along the Line of Control (LoC) in Keran sector of the district, which was launched two days ago. The army said the operation is still underway. This joint operation is being conducted by 41 Rashtriya Rifles, 57 Rashtriya Rifles, 160 Territorial Army and Special Operations Group (SOG), Kupwara teams. 

The army’s action took place on the fifth day of the search operation in which terrorists were being searched in the forests of Kupwara. During this campaign, there was an encounter between the army and the terrorists in the Rangdori Bahk area in the forests near the Line of Control on Sunday morning.

According to the report, helicopters were seen flying over the forests in search of terrorists. The army also carried out an aerial operation in this action because the forests are dense and it is difficult to find the terrorists. According to a source, recent activity was reported in Rangdori Bahk area after which action was initiated. Firing is still going on from both sides.

“Unfortunately, two more soldiers succumbed to their injuries and others are presently undergoing treatment. Total three soldiers have been martyred,” Colonel Rajesh Kalia, the spokesperson of the army, said.
“Despite prevailing inclement weather conditions, casualties have been evacuated,” Col Kalia said. The army had said earlier in the day that alert troops braving inclement weather and hostile terrain had killed the five terrorists in the operation in Keran sector.

The five, believed to be part of a group of infiltrators who had recently sneaked into the Valley, were attempting to infiltrate across LoC taking advantage of the bad weather, it said.

The army said it has killed nine terrorists, including the five infiltrators, in the last 24 hours. Four terrorists were killed in Batapura of south Kashmir’s Kulgam on Saturday. “Four terrorists who were involved in the killing of innocent civilians were eliminated at Batapura area of south Kashmir on April 4,” Col Kalia said.

Representative Image The Army Aviation Corps (AAC), the youngest Corps of the Indian Army, celebrated its 35th Corps Day on November 1. We take a look at the arm that adds an air dimension to the Army’s capabilities, its history, and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations.

That time when India took half of Pakistan to make it pay for a motorcycle

In 1947, British officer Yahya Khan offered his colleague 1,000 rupees for his spiffy red motorcycle. His colleague, Sam Manekshaw, agreed. But before Khan could pay, he was off to what was going to become Pakistan. The British split its Indian colony, and things on the subcontinent have been pretty tense ever since. To top it all off, Yahya Khan didn't pay for the motorbike. But he would, even if it took almost 25 years. The Partition of India was much more than the splitting of the British Raj into two independent states. It was a catastrophic split that tore apart the country and created millions of refugees, cost millions of lives, and split the armed forces of the country in two, all based on religion. Violence erupted almost immediately between the two groups on such a large scale that much of it has never been forgotten or forgiven. Animosity continued between both sides for decades, and the two have fought war after war because of the myriad issues left unaddressed. By 1970...
