An encounter has broken out between militants and security forces in the Singhpora area of Chatroo, Kishtwar district this morning.
A top police officer told news agency JKNS that the gunfight began after a joint team of Army and J&K Police launched a cordon-and-search operation in the area following specific intelligence inputs. As the search intensified, militants opened fire, leading to a retaliatory exchange.
“Three to four Militants are believed to be trapped. The operation is ongoing and being carried out with full caution,” the officer added.
Further details are awaited. (JKNS)
