Encounter in Shopian, Jammu and Kashmir, as security forces conduct a joint operation in Keller forests. Reports suggest 2-3 terrorists may be present.
An encounter is underway in Jammu and Kashmir’s Shopian district on Tuesday after security forces launched an operation in the forests of Keller.
People aware of the development said that the army and police launched a joint operation in the forests of Keller in Shopian which resulted in the exchange of fire.
There is a possibility of the presence of 2-3 terrorists in the forest, the above people said.
The armed forces have been engaging in combing operations in the forests of South Kashmir and Kistwar since the April 22 terror attacks in Pahalgam in which 26 people had died with several others injured.
Today’s operation was launched early in the morning, however it’s not clear whether the suspected terrorists who are holed up in the forests of Shopian are involved in the Pahalgam killings.
This is a developing story. More details are awaited.
