Encounter breaks out between Indian Army and terrorists in J&K's Bandipora

An encounter broke out between Indian security forces and terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora area at around 4 am. The Indian forces held a search operation at Shokbaba forest in Sumblar after receiving a tip-off of terrorists hiding in the area. As soon as the forces inched closer to terrorists, there was firing. This is why the Indian Army retorted. 

The operation is still underway.
