The Indian Army announced on Tuesday that four soldiers of the country were killed in an attack by armed individuals in Jammu and Kashmir.
Indian officials say the ambush occurred unexpectedly on Monday against Indian infantry forces in the forests of the Doda region.
According to Indian authorities, with the shift of militant activities from the Kashmir Valley to the Jammu region, the number of soldiers killed this year has risen to 11.
The Indian Army stated in a press release that operations in the area are ongoing, with additional forces deployed to the scene.
The Indian Ministry of Defence also reported last week that at least five Indian soldiers were killed in an attack on an army convoy in the Katora area of Jammu and Kashmir.
India and Pakistan both claim the Kashmir Himalayan region, and New Delhi accuses Islamabad of supporting insurgents in the area. Pakistan has repeatedly denied these allegations.
These incidents underscore the ongoing tensions and violence in the disputed region of Kashmir, perpetuating a long-standing conflict between India and Pakistan over territorial claims.
The escalation of attacks and military responses highlights the volatile security situation in the region, posing challenges to efforts for peaceful resolution and stability.
Efforts by international stakeholders to mediate and de-escalate tensions remain critical in mitigating further violence and promoting dialogue between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
