Pakistan is also trying to infiltrate large-scale terrorists into Kashmir amid the outbreak of the Corona virus. Which the Indian army has been fighting against.

However, in the fight against the terrorists, the Indian Army also lost five soldiers of its Special Forces (Para Regiment). The five who were martyred were also involved in a surgical strike on the launch pad when India entered Pakistan. Special Forces personnel are considered the most agile and deadly.

Details of how the jawans were fighting to fight the militants at a height of 10000 feet in the Kairan sector in Kashmir are coming out. Information about the infiltration of the terrorists was revealed in the aftermath of a UAV in the Karen sector which sent Special Forces personnel to the mission instead of the regular army unit due to inclement weather. They were flown by helicopter.

Army sources said that in the midst of bad weather and low visibility, Special Forces led by Subedar Sanjeev Kumar had followed the terrorists in the snow as they saw the action. The terrorists smelled of it and they immediately opened fire on the jawans.

However, Special Forces personnel also took their lives. Two other soldiers jumped on seeing their three allies trapped. At this time, the terrorists and the jawans were almost at hand-to-hand combat. However, three members of the squad were also killed on the spot due to gunfire. The remaining two reached the hospital and took a last breath.

Army sources say such hand-to-hand combat operations are very rare in operations against terrorists. Most encounters take place over a certain distance.
