Terrorist killed in J&K's Kulgam

Earlier on Thursday, one unidentified terrorist was killed in an encounter with the security troops in the Chawalgam area of Kulgam district. Acting on intel about the presence of terrorists, the security forces launched a cordon and search operation. The forces were conducting searches when terrorists fired upon them. In retaliation, one terrorist was eliminated.

Since that targeted attacks on civilians in the valley, the security forces have launched a massive anti-terrorist operation. More than 10 terrorists have been neutralised so far. The government has also sent additional troops to J&K.

"Considering recent civilian killings in Jammu and Kashmir, five additional CRPF teams are being sent to the Union Territory. These companies will be deployed there within a week. The force earlier had sent 25 companies in Jammu and Kashmir," an official told ANI.

Last month, terrorists attacked several non-locals, civilians and Kashmiri Pandits. On Monday, a civilian, identified as Ibrahim Khan, was killed by terrorists in Srinagar's Bandipore. On Sunday, another civilian was killed in the Batamaloo area.
