Security forces are engaging militants in gunfights at two separate locations in south Kashmir since Tuesday morning, said a police official.
According to police, hiding militants fired when, on specific information, the police and Army cordoned off Nowbug Kund, Qazigund, and Kulgam.
“The operation is on,” said the police. In a separate operation in Pulwama, security forces encircled Lam and Tral areas “after a tip off.”
As searches were intensified towards the suspected spot, the hiding militants fired upon security forces, triggering an encounter, said a police official.
