Doda :Few hours after intense encounter in Saida Sukhal village, located in the Hiranagar sector of Kathua district. Wherein, the vigilant security forces succeeded in neutralizing a terrorist during a fierce exchange of gunfire on Tuesday. A chilling sequence of events started in Jammu’s Doda district as it became the latest flashpoint of terror as militants targeted the Indian Army’s Temporary Operating Base (TOB) early Wednesday. This marks the third terror incident in the region within as many days, igniting fears of escalating violence.

In the pre-dawn hours, the TOB in Doda was rocked by gunfire as terrorists launched an audacious attack. The swift response from the Army led to a fierce exchange of fire, resulting in the neutralisation of one terrorist. However, the attack left Five army soldiers, one special police officer and a civilian injured. According to police, the injured civilian is now reported to be out of danger, providing a small relief amidst the chaos.

This brazen assault follows closely on the heels of two other terror incidents in Jammu’s Reasi and Kathua districts, underscoring a disturbing trend of intensified militant activity in the region. The quick succession of these attacks has heightened security concerns and put the region on high alert.

“One terrorist was neutralised, and one civilian was injured but is now out of danger. The operation is still ongoing, and senior officers are at the spot,” stated Jammu Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Anand Jain, as security forces continue to sweep the area for any remaining threats.

For the residents of Doda, the attack has shattered the early morning calm, leaving them in a state of anxiety and apprehension. The injured civilian, whose identity has not been disclosed, was reportedly caught in the crossfire, highlighting the indiscriminate nature of the violence that has marred the region.

The swift and effective response from the Army has been widely praised, yet the repeated nature of these attacks raises pressing questions about the security apparatus and the strategies being employed to combat this resurgence of militancy.

The series of attacks over the past three days points to a coordinated effort by militant groups to destabilize the region. Security experts suggest that these incidents might be part of a larger strategy to provoke a heavy-handed response from security forces, thereby fueling further unrest.

Authorities have ramped up security measures, with additional troops being deployed to sensitive areas and a heightened state of alert declared across Jammu and Kashmir. Intelligence agencies are reportedly working round the clock to uncover the networks behind these attacks and prevent further incidents.

In response to the attack, local and national leaders have called for calm and unity. The resilience of the local population has been praised, with calls for citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to authorities.

“The bravery and swift action of our security forces are commendable. We stand united against these cowardly acts of terror. Our thoughts are with the injured civilian and their family,” stated a senior government official.

As the region grapples with these security challenges, the focus remains on ensuring the safety and stability of Jammu and Kashmir. The ongoing operations in Doda are being closely monitored, and there is a concerted effort to bring those responsible to justice.

The repeated attacks have undoubtedly cast a shadow over the region, but the resolve of the security forces and the spirit of the local population stand firm against the specter of terrorism. The coming days will be crucial in determining the course of action and the steps necessary to restore peace and security to the embattled region.
