Two soldiers have been injured while an exchange of fire continues between security forces and terrorists in Bandipora district of Jammu and Kashmir, police said on Friday.
An encounter broke out between terrorists on Thursday night in the forest area of the district as security forces continue their hunt for the perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack that left 26 people dead on Tuesday.
Security personnel had launched a cordon and search operation in the Kulnar Bazipora area following intelligence inputs about the presence of militants in the vicinity. During the operation, the terrorists, who were hiding in the area, opened fire on the security forces, prompting a retaliatory response.
As of now, no casualties have been reported, and officials said more details are awaited as the situation unfolds.
