Three terrorists who belong to the banned group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were killed by security personnel in an encounter on Tuesday in the Shukroo forest area of Keller in the Shopian district of South Kashmir. The operation was launched jointly by Jammu & Kashmir Police and the army on the basis of specific intelligence inputs regarding the movement of terrorists in the forest area.

“As the forces began a cordon and search operation in the area, the hiding terrorists opened fire, prompting retaliatory action,” the officer said. “In the ensuing gunfight, three LeT terrorists were neutralised.”

The identities of the dead militants are yet to be officially revealed, and an operation to search the area to eliminate any further militants is under way.

Cordon and search operations have been increased to sanitise the entire area, with the situation being under control.
