The operation was launched on October 26, 2023, as part of a joint effort by the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and intelligence agencies to address potential threats along the Line of Control.

The operation was conducted with great alertness and precision by the troops deployed in the Kupwara sector. The collaboration between the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and intelligence agencies underscores the importance of inter-agency coordination in tackling security challenges in the region.
A police spokesman confirmed that two terrorists were neutralized during the operation. The operation was initiated based on specific and credible information provided by the Kupwara Police. This information led to a targeted encounter in the Machhal sector, where the terrorists were located. The successful operation not only prevented the infiltration attempt but also eliminated the immediate threat posed by the terrorists.
