One terrorist was killed and two others were injured in a gunfight with the Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir’s Shahpur on Sunday.

Lt. Col Devender Anand, a Jammu-based Army PRO, said troops noticed suspicious movement near the border fence along the LoC in Poonch during the night of April 8 and April 9.
