2 Terrorists Killed In Encounter With Security Forces In J&K’s Anantnag

Srinagar:

Security forces gunned down two terrorists during an encounter in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir this morning. The encounter started after the security forces launched an anti-terrorist operation in the Halkan Gali area.

Earlier in the morning, an encounter broke out in Srinagar’s Khaynar area during a cordon and search operation by a joint team of police and security forces.

The anti-terrorist operations follow a terror attack on two migrant workers a day earlier. The two men from Uttar Pradesh were shot at in Budgam district – in fourth such targeted attack on migrants in the Kashmir Valley in the last two weeks.

The deadliest attack was on October 20 when seven people – including a local doctor and two workers from Bihar – were shot dead by terrorists at a tunnel construction site in Ganderbal district.
