Bandipora Encounter: One foreign terrorist was neutralized during an operation in Bandipora. The forces recovered an M4 rifle from the slain terrorist, indicating a significant armament used by terrorists in the area. The terrorists were hiding in the Kaitsan forest area.

Kupwara Encounter: In a separate incident in Kupwara, another foreign terrorist was killed. Security personnel recovered an AK-series rifle and additional arms and ammunition from this encounter, highlighting the ongoing challenges posed by armed groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir.
