Three local terrorists linked with proscribed terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) were killed in Shopian’s Drach area last evening, while a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant was killed in the south Kashmir district’s Moolu area this morning, police said.
“Three local #terrorists linked with proscribed #terror outfit JeM killed in #encounter at Drach #Shopian,” Additional Director General of Police, Kashmir, Vijay Kumar said on Twitter.
“01 local #terrorist of proscribed #terror outfit LeT killed in Moolu #encounter. #Operation going on. Further details shall follow,” ADGP Vijay Kumar said in a subsequent tweet.
