This was done in retaliation after five Army personnel on Sunday were martyred while engaging with Pakistani terrorists in the Kupwara sector. The Indian Army had killed four terrorists and the fifth one who escaped from the encounter site was eliminated by soldiers near the Line of Control.
The soldiers were a part of Special Forces on a mission named Randori Behak. On April 5, which is four days after the mission began, the Special Forces squad had ventured onto a cornice, an overhanging patch of hardened snow with no underlying support. The cornice broke under the weight of two soldiers.
The soldiers fell in the exact area where the terrorists were hiding. A gunfight followed in which terrorists were killed.
