An official said that a joint team of Police, Army’s 09 RR and CRPF launched a Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) on specific information about the presence of militants in the area.
He said that as the joint team of forces approached the suspected spot, the hiding militants fired upon them, which was retaliated, triggering an encounter.

“The injured soldiers were taken to Army hospital for treatment,” the official said.

During the search operation as the presence of militants got ascertained they were repeatedly appealed to surrender, however, they fired indiscriminately upon the joint search parties in which two Army men got injured and airlifted to Srinagar based Army hospital, the statement said, adding that the security forces also retaliated, which lead to an encounter.
In the ensuing encounter, three militants were killed and their bodies were retrieved from the site of encounter.
