Srinagar: Two terrorists were killed on Saturday during an ongoing encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district. A substantial cache of arms and ammunition was recovered from the site.
The joint operation was launched by the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police following intelligence inputs about an infiltration attempt in the Gugaldhar area of Kupwara. During the search operation, security forces identified suspicious movement, which led to a gunfight with the terrorists.
In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), the Chinar Corps of the Indian Army said, “Two terrorists have been eliminated by the security forces in the ongoing Operation GUGALDHAR. War-like stores have been recovered. A search of the area is underway and the operation is in progress.”
