In Jammu and Kashmir, security forces killed two terrorists in Kulgam in a gunfight that began on Sunday morning. One of the terrorists was associated with a Pakistan-based Lashkar terror outfit, and had been active in North Kashmir for two years, while another was a local terrorist, police said. "Both the trapped terrorists killed (in the Cheyan Devsar area of Kulgam). Incriminating materials including arms & ammunition recovered. Search is underway," the Kashmir police said in a tweet.
The encounter took place at the Cheyan Devsar area of Kulgam, with both the police and army involved.
A day ago, a terrorist was killed as the Army foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir, reported PTI, citing a defence spokesman. The movement of the terrorist was noticed by an alert Army patrol. When the team challenged him, the terrorist opened fire and got killed in the ensuing gunfight, the spokesman said.
On Friday, three Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, including the oldest surviving ultra of the outfit, were killed in an encounter with security forces near the route of the annual Amarnath Yatra in the Anantnag district.
