"Let the army come forward, then I will see," he told his mother.

Three militants from Jaish-e-Mohammed were killed during a security operation in Nadir village, in the Tral area of Pulwama district, Jammu and Kashmir. The deceased were identified as Asif Ahmed Sheikh, Amir Nazir Wani, and Yawar Ahmad Bhat—all local residents of Pulwama.

Before the confrontation began, Amir made a video call from their hideout to speak with his mother and sister. He also spoke with Asif's sister when she inquired about her brother. Notably, Asif's home in the Tral region had previously been destroyed using an IED during a counter-terrorism operation.

According to an India Today report, security forces had offered the terrorists an opportunity to surrender, but they responded by opening fire on the troops.

This incident marks the second such encounter in the union territory within a 48-hour period. Just two days earlier, security forces had killed three Lashkar-e-Taiba militants during an operation in the Keller area of Shopian district. That earlier operation resulted in the recovery of three AK-47 rifles along with additional weapons and ammunition.
