Indian security forces on Wednesday engaged in a fierce gun battle with terrorists near the Kathua-Udhampur border, leading to the death of at least two of them. The fight took place earlier in the day within the Udhampur district after authorities received intelligence regarding the presence of armed individuals in the area.
Responding to the alert, paramilitary troops, along with local police, swiftly cordoned off Basantgarh to prevent any potential escape routes for the terrorists.
