These encounters follow increased scrutiny and tracking of terrorists’ movements after the Pahalgam terror attack in April, in which 26 people, mostly civilians, were killed.
Dramatic footage has emerged of the three terrorists killed in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Awantipora that began early Thursday morning.
In one video one of the terrorists can be seen crouched behind a concrete pillar, with what appears to be an assault rifle in his hand. In another, filmed from further away, the terrorists can be seen huddled inside what seems to a broke-down shed.
All three, who earlier sought refuge in a house, were killed after a joint op by the police and Army that began in the Tral region of Awantipora, which is a sub-district of Pulwama in south Kashmir.
This was the second encounter in Kashmir in the previous 48 hours.
