The overnight encounters, which began in Jammu, continued into the morning. One occurred in Doda, where five soldiers and a Special Police Officer (SPO) were injured in an attack on an army post.

Just days before these terror incidents, a tragic event unfolded when a bus carrying pilgrims came under attack in Reasi, crashing into a gorge and claiming the lives of nine passengers.

Anand Jain, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) for the Jammu zone, who is overseeing the anti-terrorist operations in Kathua, shared details of the encounters.
