An encounter between terrorists and security forces that broke out in Reban area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Shopian district last night, continued on Tuesday, police said.
“Encounter has started at Reban area of #Shopian. Police and Army on the job. Further details shall follow,” Jammu and Kashmir police had tweeted yesterday.
Earlier in the day, the ADGP Kashmir said that a terrorist belonging to the proscribed Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror outfit, identified as Kaiser Koka active since 2018, was trapped in an encounter in Awantipora.
A joint cordon and search operation was launched by the Police, Army and CRPF on specific information regarding the presence of terrorists in Awantipora that led to the killing of two terrorists.
During the search operation, as the joint search party approached the spot, the hiding terrorists fired indiscriminately upon the joint search party, which retaliated effectively thus leading to the encounter.
In the ensuing encounter, two JeM terrorists were killed and their bodies were retrieved from the encounter site.
