A gunfight started on Monday between the security forces and the terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district. Officials said that following information about the presence of terrorists, joint teams of the security forces started a CASO (Cordon and Search Operation) in Gudar forest area.
“As the joint forces came closer, hiding terrorists opened fire after which an encounter started. Till last reports came in firing was going on in the area”, officials said.
Joint forces have started aggressive anti-terrorist operations in J&K and these operations are targeted against the terrorists, their over ground workers (OGWs) and sympathisers.
