Terrorist killed in encounter with security forces in Budgam forest of J&K
SRINAGAR: A terrorist was killed in an encounter with security forces on Friday, the second day of an ongoing anti-terror operation in the forest area of Yousmarg in Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam district.
The operation was launched by the Army, police and CRPF on Thursday evening in the Ashdar Gali area after security forces received inputs about the movement of a group of 2-3 terrorists from Pakherpora in Pulwama district towards the Yousmarg forest area in Budgam.
“Vigilant troops observed suspicious activity and, upon being challenged, terrorists opened fire, prompting a fierce exchange of gunfire during which one terrorist was killed,” the Army’s Srinagar-based Chinar Corps posted on X.
