Four militants were killed in three back-to-back anti-militancy operations of the security forces in the Kashmir valley in the past 24 hours.
Three sticky improvised explosive devices (IEDs) dropped by drones from across the border were seized and defused near the International Border (IB) in Jammu’s Akhnoor Sector.
According to the J&K police, a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant was killed and three others escaped during an encounter with the security forces in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district late on Monday evening. The police identified the slain militant as Hanzalla, a resident of Lahore in Pakistan. “Arms and ammunition, including one AK-Rifle and five magazines, were recovered from the encounter site,” police said.
