Army dog Tyson leads troops to Jaish terrorists’ hideout in J&K's Kishtwar, injured in gunfight - India Today
An Indian Army sniffer dog named Tyson played a vital role in a counter-terrorism operation in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district. Acting on intelligence inputs, security forces launched a search mission to track suspected Jaish-e-Mohammed militants hiding in the region. During the operation, Tyson successfully traced the terrorists’ location, helping troops narrow down their hideout in a dense forested area. As forces closed in, a fierce gun battle erupted between the militants and the Army personnel. Tyson sustained injuries during the exchange of fire but continued assisting the team before being evacuated for medical treatment. The operation highlights the critical role of trained military dogs in anti-terror missions across Jammu and Kashmir. Security forces remain on high alert as combing operations continue in the area to ensure complete neutralisation of threats and maintain stability in the region.
