**Headline:** Ongoing Operation Akhal in Jammu and Kashmir Claims Three Terrorists
In Jammu and Kashmir, the third day of Operation Akhal, one of the largest counter-terrorism operations this year, has resulted in the deaths of three terrorists and left one soldier injured. This brings the total number of terrorists killed in the operation to six, following the elimination of three others by security forces on Saturday.
Throughout the night, the Akhal forest area in Kulgam district echoed with the sounds of blasts and gunfire as the encounter between terrorists and a joint team comprising the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Army, and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) continued.
The operation commenced on Friday after intelligence reports indicated the presence of terrorists in the Akhal forests. An encounter ensued when a group of terrorists, concealed by the forest cover, opened fire on the security personnel. Following an initial exchange of fire, the operation was temporarily paused on Friday night but resumed on Saturday, leading to the successful neutralization of three terrorists.
According to officials, the terrorists are affiliated with The Resistance Front (TRF), a faction of the banned militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which has previously claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians.
The operation is being supported by advanced surveillance technology and elite paramilitary forces, with the Director General of Police (DGP) and the 15 Corps Commander closely monitoring the developments.
As the situation unfolds, the commitment of security forces to counter-terrorism efforts in the region remains steadfast, aiming to restore peace and security in Jammu and Kashmir.
