Jammu And Kashmir: Terrorist Killed In Encounter In Kulgam; One Policeman Injured

One terrorist was killed in an encounter by the security forces in the intervening night of Monday (26 June) and Tuesday in the Hoowra village of Kulgam district, in Jammu and Kashmir.

One policeman was also injured in the encounter, and incriminating materials, including arms and ammunition were recovered from the terrorist.

The Twitter handle of the Kashmir Zone Police tweeted, "01 local terrorist neutralised. Identification & affliation being ascertained. Incriminating materials including arms & ammunition recovered. Search going on."

The encounter started late Monday (26 June) night and continued till Tuesday early morning.

This comes just four days (23 June) after the security forces shot dead four terrorists in the Machhal sector of North Kashmir's Kupwara district.

The terrorists were trying to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir after crossing the Line of Control from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Just a week before (16 June), another five terrorists were killed in the Jumagund area of Kupwara district, following yet another encounter (on 13 June) in the same Machhal area, where two terrorists were killed.
