“The cordon was tightened and all the possible escape routes were blocked to negate the escape of militants. Subsequently, all the civilians trapped in the adjoining houses/target house were safely evacuated to safer location and the hiding militants were offered an opportunity to surrender, to which they ignored and fired indiscriminately upon joint operation parties.”
The fire was effectively retaliated in self-defence & in the ensuing gunfight, two militants got eliminated and partial damage also caused to the house of Parvaiz Hassan Misgar.
