Kulgam Anti-Terror Operation Enters Day 12
Security forces are in a fight with terrorists in Kulgam forest, which has been going on for 12 days.
The soldiers are trying to be careful because the area is dangerous, with thick woods that make it hard to see.
Sadly, two soldiers have died during this operation.
The forces are waiting for the right time to attack, hoping to make the terrorists tired and run out of supplies.
This is different from a past operation, where things went much faster because of better planning.
Anti-terror operation in Kulgam's Akhal forest enters its 12th day.
The operation began August 1st, following intel of heavily armed militants.
Two soldiers, Lance Naik Pritpal Singh and Sepoy Harminder Singh, died in the operation.
Forces are using patience, aiming to deplete terrorists' resources and morale.
The terrain favors militants, slowing progress, contrasting with Operation Mahadev.
