An encounter broke out between hiding militants and security forces in a forest area in the Pir Panjal valley’s Rajouri district on the Jammu division on Sunday evening.
“At about 7:30 p.m., operational contact has been established by troops of Indian Army, Rashtriya Rifles and the Police’s special operation group with terrorists at Kandra Hill in district Rajouri,” an Army spokesperson.
Preliminary reports suggested that an exchange of fire is on in a tough hilly area, nestled in forest covers and steep slopes.
