Indian Army K9 dog 'Tyson' from 2-Para unit took the first bullet in the leg while confirming terrorist presence during a security operation in Passerkut area of Kishtwar district, Jammu and Kashmir, on February 22, 2026, continuing despite injury before airlift to safety, as reported by OsintTV on X at approximately 11:45 AM UTC within the reporting window from 11:15 AM to 12:15 PM. 'Tyson' was shot during the encounter with two Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists, who were neutralized earlier that morning by Indian Army's White Knight Corps, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and CRPF, according to PTI News and @Whiteknight_IA reports from prior windows. The dog demonstrated resilience by persisting through pain until airlifted for recovery. No security force casualties were reported in the operation that began between 5:15-6:45 AM UTC, with troops cordoning the area during the firefight, as confirmed by official statements from @adgpi, @NorthernComd_IA, and @crpfindia. OsintTV praised 'Tyson' as a 'brave boy' with a 'strong heart' and 'loyal soul' now safe and recovering.
