The Army on Thursday said it has killed a militant in an operation in north Kashmir's Bandipora district, around 40 km from Srinagar.
A group of militants are believed to be holed up in Aragam village of Bandipora. The area was encircled by troops of the CRPF, the police and the Army. The operation was based on a tip-off. The militants opened fire when the security forces zeroed in on the village.
Thursday's encounter is the fourth such encounter between hiding militants and security the forces in the past three days.
Two operations were on in Kupwara's Nowgam Sector and Baramulla's Lachipora area, where two infiltrationswere foiled by the Army.
