Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have conducted multiple operations targeting militant activity in forested regions. 

In late July 2026, a joint team of the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police uncovered a temporary terrorist hideout in the Bangai forest of the Rajouri district. The operation resulted in the seizure of various food supplies and survival items, prompting a wider sweep of the surrounding area.

By mid-August 2026, joint operations involving the National Rifles, the Jammu and Kashmir Police Special Operations Group, and the Central Reserve Police Force dismantled another hideout in the Poonch district. This operation led to the recovery of several improvised explosive devices (IEDs), a wireless set, and ammunition. Security forces continue to utilize drones, helicopters, and sniffer dogs to search for militants in dense forests and natural caves across the Rajouri and Poonch sectors.
