Srinagar: In a recent surge of violence in the disputed region of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian troops killed a Kashmiri youth during a military operation in the Kupwara district. The incident coincides with the death of an Indian army officer who was earlier injured in the same area.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the confrontation occurred during a cordon and search operation by Indian forces in the Trumkhan Lolab area of Kupwara district. The young Kashmiri was killed amidst what local sources describe as an intense military crackdown that began on Tuesday night.
The situation escalated when an Indian army officer, previously injured in an attack within the same district, succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital. These events add to the ongoing tension and violence in the region, which has been a point of contention between India and Pakistan, each claiming the territory in full but controlling only parts.
