While I'm grateful for the operation's success, it's a grim reminder of the persistent cross-border threats. When will our neighbor stop this? Thoughts with the families in Kathua who live with this fear.

Jaish-e-Mohammed again? This is concerning. Good that he was neutralized, but we need to ask how he infiltrated. Our border security needs to be 200% tight. Kudos to the joint team for the precise strike!

As someone who follows international security, the coordination between Army, JKP, and CRPF here is a textbook example of effective counter-terrorism. Hope the continued search operations yield no further threats.

Billawar is not typically in the news for such encounters. This shows the changing dynamics. Our forces are everywhere, ready to protect. Jai Hind!

Respectfully, while we celebrate this win, we must also focus on the long-term peace and development of J&K. Eliminating terrorists is crucial, but so is winning the hearts of the local population through sustained engagement and opportunities.

The professionalism shown is commendable. "Precise strike" as mentioned means minimal collateral damage. That's how it should be done. Well done
