In Jammu and Kashmir, a terrorist was killed during an ongoing operation by security forces in a remote area of the Kishtwar district today. An Akashvani Jammu correspondent reports that an encounter broke out in the general area of Passerkut in the Chatroo belt around 10:30 AM today, prompting joint teams of the Army, police, and CRPF to launch a search operation after they received information about the presence of two Pakistani terrorists affiliated with the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). The terrorists, hiding inside a mud house on the foothills of a hill, opened fire on the approaching troops, leading to an intense gun battle. So far, one terrorist has been killed in the ongoing operation. The Chatroo forest belt witnessed nearly a dozen gunfights between terrorists and security forces last month, resulting in the death of a soldier and a terrorist. The encounter is ongoing, and further details are awaited.
