Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district initiated a large-scale search operation on Friday following reports of two suspicious individuals spotted in the Juthalba area of Rajbagh. The operation was triggered after locals alerted authorities to the presence of the unidentified persons moving under the cover of darkness in the Jakhol area late Thursday night.

Officials stated that the search, which involves multiple security agencies, is focused on tracking down the suspects, whose identities and intentions remain unclear. The rugged terrain and dense vegetation of the region have made the operation challenging, but security personnel are combing the area with precision to ensure no stone is left unturned.

The development has heightened alertness in Kathua, with residents urged to remain vigilant and report any unusual activity. Authorities have not yet disclosed whether the suspects are linked to any specific group or incident, but the operation underscores the ongoing efforts to maintain security in the region. The search continues as forces work to neutralize any potential threat.
