Uri: Pakistani Terrorist Killed in Operation

A Pakistani terrorist was killed during a joint operation conducted by the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir, on March 15, 2026. The operation was initiated following specific intelligence input regarding an infiltration attempt.

When challenged by the security forces, the terrorist opened indiscriminate fire, leading to an exchange of gunfire in which the terrorist was ultimately eliminated. Authorities recovered an AK rifle, several pistols, and a large quantity of ammunition from the scene.

This operation is part of ongoing efforts to counter infiltration attempts along the Line of Control, which has been a persistent issue in the region. The security forces remain vigilant in their efforts to maintain peace and security in Jammu and Kashmir.

In a related incident, a marine commando from the Marine Commandos (MARCOS) unit was critically injured during a rescue operation in the Jhelum River in Uri. The rescue operation was launched after a woman jumped into the river, prompting immediate action from the commandos.

The injured MARCOS personnel, identified as A.S. Badoria, was subsequently shifted to an army hospital for treatment. His condition remains a concern as authorities continue to monitor the situation closely.

Political reactions have emerged following these events, with Er Rashid raising issues in Parliament regarding the realignment of the Baramulla–Uri railway line. Rashid criticized the government for sealing the Jamia Masjid in Srinagar, stating, “I strongly condemn the government for sealing Jamia Masjid Srinagar and not allowing prayers there.”

He further questioned the government’s stance on national security, asking, “I would first like to thank the government for releasing Sonam Wangchuk, but I want to ask since when have Chinese and Pakistani agents suddenly become nationalist overnight?”

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the broader implications of these incidents, but the situation in Uri continues to evolve as security forces remain engaged in their operations.
