A soldier, Lance Dafadar Baldev Chand, lost his life during the night of September 19-20, 2025, during an Army operation targeting suspected terrorists in the Doda-Udhampur region of Jammu.
The White Knight Corps launched the mission after spotting 3-4 terrorists hiding out in Seoj Dhar.
The firefight began Friday evening and sadly left Chand with fatal injuries.
Operation still underway; no terrorist casualties reported
No terrorist casualties have been reported yet, and the operation is still underway as of Saturday evening.
Jammu & Kashmir Police's special operations group has joined forces with the Army, navigating tough forest terrain to track down those involved.
