An encounter broke out between security forces and suspected terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Saturday morning after troops detected suspicious movement along the Line of Control (LoC).
The exchange of fire took place in the Jumgund area of the Keran sector in north Kashmir after troops challenged the suspected movement.
The operation was underway, and further details were awaited.
There was no immediate confirmation of casualties or the identities of those involved. It was also unclear whether the incident was linked to an infiltration attempt.
Security forces have maintained heightened surveillance along the LoC to prevent infiltration across the border. Further details about the circumstances of the encounter are expected as the operation progresses.
