{Thread on the Indian Army special forces operation executed yesterday}

This was an operation that was headed by Subedar Sanjeev Kumar and his team of 4. They had a face 2 face close quarters combat with the terrorists and eliminated them before succumbing. @adgpi

Background: There was intense gunfight between Indian security forces and terrorists around the Rangdori Behak area part of the Kupwara district of #JammuAndKashmir for the last 5 days.

Indian army performed combing operations in this difficult terrain to weed out the militants.

A total of 5 terrorists were killed by Subedar Sanjeev Kumar & Team.

But the sad part is these 5 soldiers also lost their lives in the process.

Thy were from Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan.
