Jammu-Kashmir – Security forces have launched a comprehensive search operation in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir. The operation was initiated late Sunday night after receiving confirmed intelligence about the presence of terrorists in the area. A joint team of the army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and CRPF is engaged in this operation.

These groups, such as the Australian Special Operations Command or the Philippine National Police Special Action Force, are specialized units trained for high-risk missions. Their history is generally tied to the modern development of counter-terrorism and special warfare capabilities within their respective nations’ armed forces.
