Second Encounter
As the security forces tried to neutralise the terrorists, another encounter broke out early this morning in the Moolu area of Shopian in which one terrorist has been killed. According to ADGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar the encounter is in progress, reported ANI.
This is the second gunfight in the district in less than 12 hours. After receiving specific input about the presence of militants in the Moolu area of Shopian district, security forces launched a cordon and search operation, a police official said, according to PTI.
The search operation soon turned into an encounter after the militants fired upon the forces, who retaliated.
