A fierce encounter broke out between terrorists and security forces in the Shukroo area of Keller in South Kashmir’s Shopian district early Tuesday morning. The operation began after inputs about the presence of militants in the area, prompting a joint cordon and search operation by the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and CRPF.
As the security personnel approached the suspected hideout, the militants opened fire, leading to a fierce gunfight. A senior police officer confirmed the exchange of fire. Sources indicate that two to three terrorists are believed to be trapped in the area. The entire region has been cordoned off, and the operation is ongoing.
