An exchange of fire broke out between security forces and terrorists in the Singhpora area of Chatroo in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, the J&K Police said on Thursday morning. Local reports claimed that at least three terrorists are believed to be trapped in the encounters.
The encounter comes days after India carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7, following which Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10. The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions.
The hostilities ended with an understanding on stopping the military actions following talks between the directors general of military operations of both sides on May 10.
Operation Sindoor was launched by India in response to a terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 people, mostly tourists.
