Jammu and Kashmir An encounter took place between the security forces and the terrorists in Pulwama district on Sunday. In the encounter, the soldiers have killed a terrorist. This information is being received from TV news channel.
Search continues for terrorists involved in Kulgam attack
The hunt is on for the terrorists involved in the ambush in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district earlier this month. Three soldiers were martyred in this attack.
The same group was also involved in the attacks in Rajouri and Poonch.
Security officials indicated that the same group was also involved in the attacks in Rajouri and Poonch this year. A top security force official said that the search operation is going on in South Kashmir and ‘quadcopters’ are being used extensively to trace the terrorists involved in the attack. A ‘quadcopter’ is a special kind of drone. Our assessment is that the group is still in south Kashmir and has not crossed over to the other side of the Pir Panjal mountain range, a senior official said. We hope to encounter them before they cross. The troops launched a cordon and search operation after receiving a tip-off about possible movement of terrorists through the forest area.

A total of five soldiers were martyred in Poonch in April.
A total of five soldiers were martyred in Poonch in April and five more were martyred in the Bhattadurian attack in Rajouri in May. There are many similarities between the attacks in Rajouri-Poonch earlier this year and the recent attacks in Kulgam, the official said. We believe that a group of six to eight terrorists is active on both sides of the Pir Panjal mountain range. He said that this group mostly consists of highly trained foreign terrorists, who are being supported by two to three local extremists. He said the group could include Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists and it has so far managed to evade radar by not using communication devices like phones.
