Pakistanis celebrate as 4 Indian Army personnel lose their lives in terrorist encounter in Handwara in Jammu and Kashmir

On 2nd May 2020, at around 3:30 PM, an encounter started between the Forces and terrorists in Chanjumullah area of Handwara in Kupwara, North Kashmir. Towards evening, reports started pouring in that two senior Army personnel including a Colonel-rank officer and a Major were trapped in a house with two Pakistani terrorists.

As news emerged that four Indian Army personnel died fighting the Pakistani terrorists, the Pakistanis and Islamists took to social media to celebrate the Handwara attacks.

The Islamists mocked the Handwara by claiming that it was a repeat of Abhinandan Varthaman episode, in which the Airforce fighter pilot was captured by Pakistani Army right after Indian Airforce had stuck terrorist hubs at Balakot inside Pakistan.
