In a dramatic counterterrorism operation in India’s Jammu and Kashmir region, an Army dog named Tyson has emerged as an unlikely hero. The specially trained sniffer dog, attached to the Indian Army’s 2 Para Special Forces unit, was shot during a gunfight but continued leading troops to a terrorist hideout.

The operation took place in the forested Kishtwar district, where security forces were tracking militants believed to be hiding in remote, mountainous terrain. According to officials, Tyson was the first to confirm the presence of terrorists in the area early Sunday morning (22).
