One terrorist has been killed in an ongoing encounter between terrorists and security forces at Hyderpora in Central Kashmir`s Srinagar district on Monday, officials said.
“One unidentified terrorist killed. Operation going on,” police said.
“Encounter has started at Hyderpora, Srinagar. Police & Security Forces are on the job. Further details shall follow. @JmuKmrPolice,” Kashmir Zone Police had tweeted.
The firefight between terrorists and security forces took place after a joint team of the police and the army cordoned off the area and launched a search operation on the basis of specific information about the presence of terrorists.
As the security forces zeroed in on the spot where terrorists were hiding they came under a heavy volume of fire that triggered the encounter.
