Upon receiving the information, a joint team of police and security forces swiftly cordoned off the area to prevent any escape. However, terrorists opened fire during the search operation, leading to a retaliatory response from the security forces.
As a result of the exchange of gunfire, one terrorist's body has been recovered, while another is suspected to be trapped in the vicinity. Although the gunfire has ceased, security forces continue thorough searches in the region.
This incident adds to a series of encounters between terrorists and security forces in Kashmir, reflecting ongoing efforts to maintain peace and security in the region. Notably, it occurred approximately a week after Indian Army personnel successfully foiled an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in Baramulla district's Uri sector, resulting in the elimination of one terrorist.
