According to sources, acting on specific inputs about the presence of terrorists, the Army had launched a search operation in the Gadool forest area in Kokernag about three days to four days ago. The missing commandos were a part of the operation.

One source said the communication with the two commandos was lost on Tuesday. “Repeated attempts to contact them on their handsets and track their movement through GPS have proved unsuccessful,” the sources added.
