3-4 Jaish terrorists trapped
According to official sources, three to four Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists are currently trapped in the area. The encounter began when a joint team comprising the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Indian Army, and paramilitary forces launched a cordon and search operation based on precise intelligence inputs provided by the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
Sources have said that the group of terrorists currently surrounded by security forces is the same outfit that had managed to escape during a recent encounter in the same area.
