The operation began when a joint team of the police and the army launched a cordon and search operation in the area, as per the police. As the forces closed in on a suspected location, the militants opened fire, prompting the forces to retaliate, which led to the ongoing gunfight.

In a post on X, the Army’s Chinar Corps said, “On 19 December 24, based on specific intelligence input regarding the presence of terrorists, a joint operation was launched by the Indian Army & Jammu and Kashmir Police at Kader, Kulgam. Suspicious activity was observed by vigilant troops, and on being challenged, terrorists opened indiscriminate and heavy volume of fire. Our own troops effectively retaliated.”
