Overview
- Troops launched Operation Sohan during the night of Sep 16–17 after confirmed intelligence inputs and later recovered the bodies of two unidentified militants.
- The operation is a joint effort by the Army’s White Knight Corps, the CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police’s Special Operations Group, with Para and Rashtriya Rifles units also involved.
- Arms, ammunition and other incriminating material were seized at the scene and one suspect has been detained and is being questioned by authorities.
- Security forces say the operation remains active with ongoing combing and aerial and ground surveillance as some sources report a possible third militant still trapped in the forests.
- The action continues a wider push into the Majalta and Pir Panjal corridors that officials say are recurring infiltration and hideout routes, prompting more patrols, checkpoints and sweeps that will affect local movement and security routines.
