Army Assault Dog Tyson Recovering After Taking First Bullet in Kishtwar Anti-Terror Operation
JAMMU, February 24, 2026 — The Indian Army’s White Knight Corps has announced that Tyson, an elite Army Assault Dog, is recovering well after displaying extraordinary bravery during a high-stakes counter-terrorism mission.
During Operation Trashi-I in the Kishtwar region, Tyson led the tactical entry into a terrorist hideout, heroically taking the first bullet to shield his human teammates. Despite sustaining serious injuries, the undeterred canine pressed forward and launched a fierce assault, forcing the hidden militants to reveal their positions by opening fire.
Tyson’s fearless actions provided the critical breakthrough needed for the joint task force—comprising the White Knight Corps, Jammu & Kashmir Police, and the CRPF—to precisely engage the targets. This selfless act of valor directly led to the neutralization of three Pakistan-sponsored terrorists who were entrenched in the area.
The Army’s update on Tyson’s health has sparked a wave of tributes online, celebrating the unwavering “warrior spirit” and loyalty of the silent rank-and-file serving on the front lines of national security.
