Three Terrorists Gunned Down By Security Forces In An Encounter In J&K's Baramulla

Three terrorists were reportedly neutralised during an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district earlier today (14 September).

The encounter began late on Friday (13 September) night in the Chak Taper Kreeri locality of Baramulla’s Pattan region after the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir police launch a joint operation. The operation was launched based on specific intelligence input regarding the presence of terrorists in the area.

The operation is currently underway.

Earlier on Friday, two Army personnel, including a junior commissioned officer (JCO), were killed in action, and two others were injured in an encounter with terrorists in the upper regions of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district.

The gunfight began after a joint team of the Army and police, acting on a tip-off, launched a cordon-and-search operation in the Naidgham area in the Chhatroo belt connecting Kishtwar with south Kashmir's Anantnag district.

Four Army personnel were injured in the gunbattle and two of them -- Naib Subedar Vipan Kumar, a JCO, and Sepoy Arvind Singh -- later succumbed to the injuries.
