Jammu and Kashmir: 4 terrorists killed in Bandipora encounter

At least four terrorists were killed in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora town in an encounter with security forces on Monday.

Operations between the terrorists and security forces are underway. Further details are awaited.

This is the first terror attack in the strife-torn state after the Centre announced to not extend the ceasefire and directed security forces to resume operations against the terrorists.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Sunday urged security forces to take all necessary actions as earlier to prevent terrorists from launching attacks and indulging in violence and killings.

Further, terrorists opened fire at a joint checkpoint of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and state police near Pulwama's Gangoo area on Thursday morning.

An army personnel and two terrorists were killed in an encounter at a forest area of north Kashmir's Bandipora district.
