Four Suspected Terrorists Spotted Scaling Peak in J&K's Doda
In a part of India called Jammu and Kashmir, there are very tall mountains.
People who live near one mountain, called Ramtund Peak, saw four people climbing it.
They made a video of the climbers because it seemed strange.
The climbers were suspected to be terrorists, which are people who do bad and scary things.
The villagers quickly told the police and the army.
The police, the army, and another security group called the CRPF began searching the area.
They looked through forests, mountain paths, and ridges to find the four people.
Extra soldiers were also sent from a nearby area called Udhampur.
People in charge think three of the climbers might be from other countries, and one might be from nearby.
So far, the security forces have not found the climbers, but they are still looking.
A video purportedly showing four suspected terrorists scaling Ramtund Peak in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district has surfaced, triggering a major anti-terror operation.
Some locals captured the footage and alerted the security forces late Monday afternoon, according to official sources.
Security forces are combing surrounding forests, ridgelines and mountain tracks in a major search operation.
Reinforcements from the Army, police and CRPF were mobilised from Udhampur on Tuesday morning.
Preliminary inputs suggest the group may comprise three foreign terrorists and one local, but there has been no contact with the suspects so far.
