Three unidentified Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants were killed during an anti-militancy operation in north Kashmir’s Kupwara on Thursday, taking the militant toll to 78 this year so far. Meanwhile, one youth, allegedly behind the Sunjwan attack in Jammu ahead of the Prime Minister’s visit in April, has been arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
“All the three slain militants were affiliated to the LeT. Their identities are being ascertained. Incriminating materials, arms and ammunition were recovered from them,” Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar said.
The anti-militancy operation was carried out on a specific input developed by the Kupwara police regarding an infiltration attempt of terrorists in Jumagund village near the Line of Control in Kupwara, the police said.
