Indian Army’s White Knight Corps Eliminates 7 Terrorists in Massive Kishtwar Operation
JAMMU, Feb 23, 2026 — In a major breakthrough for regional security, the Indian Army’s White Knight Corps, in coordination with the Jammu & Kashmir Police and the CRPF, has successfully eliminated seven high-profile terrorists in the Chatroo area of Kishtwar.
The operation, which spanned a grueling 326 days, culminated in the neutralisation of the notorious terror commander Saifullah and his entire cell, marking a decisive blow to the terror infrastructure in the high-altitude region.The mission was characterized by relentless pursuit across daunting, snow-bound terrain where security forces braved sub-zero temperatures and freezing conditions for nearly a year.
This success was underpinned by a sophisticated, “well-knit” intelligence grid involving both civil and military agencies. To overcome the geographical challenges, the forces leveraged cutting-edge technology, including FPV drones, satellite imagery, and high-endurance UAVs, to track and corner the group.
Army officials emphasized that this operation reflects the unwavering resolve and valor of the uniformed personnel.
By dismantling this specific network, the White Knight Corps has effectively disrupted major terror coordinates in Kishtwar, sending a clear message regarding the military’s commitment to peace in the valley.
