Three terrorists were on Monday killed in an encounter with security forces in Handwara area of north Kashmir, police said here.
Director General of Police (DGP) S P Vaid said the slain terrorists were “apparently Pakistanis”. Security forces launched a cordon and search operation in the early hours in Unisoo village of Handwara following specific intelligence inputs about the presence of terrorists in the area, a police official said.
He said the search operation turned into an encounter as the hiding terrorists fired upon the forces conducting the searches. During the gunfight, three militants were killed, the official said.
He said their bodies along with three weapons have been recovered from the encounter site. Vaid said on Twitter, “In unisoo Handwara all the three terrorists apparently Pakistanis have been neutralised by Joint team of J&K Police, RR & CRPF. It has been raining whole night & boys were out there in the cold”.
