The deceased soldiers have been identified as Constable Harminder Singh and Lance Naik Preetpal Singh, both from 19 Rashtriya Rifles (RR).

Pahalgam Terrorists' Elimination 

The elimination of three Pakistani terrorists who were reportedly responsible for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack is part of the aggressive operations being carried out by the joint forces.

Three Pakistani terrorists, including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander, Suleiman Shah, and his two associates Abu Hamza and Jibran Bhai responsible for the Pahalgam attack, were killed on July 28 in the higher reaches of Dachigam National Park on the foot of Mahadev mountain peak in Harwan area of Srinagar. The Army code-named this operation as ‘Operation Mahadev’.

After the Pahalgam terror attack, the security forces are carrying out anti-terrorist operations against gun-wielding terrorists, their overground workers (OGWs), and sympathisers.
