NEW DELHI: Security forces and terrorists clashed in two separate encounters in Jammu and Kashmir . Search operation is under way on Saturday in Bandipora and Srinagar of J&K.
The security forces launched a search operation in Bandipora after terrorists opened fire and escaped into the jungle on late Friday.
In social media post on X, Indian Army 's Chinar Corp's said, "On 01 Nov 2024 late evening, suspicious movement was spotted, in gen area Panar of Bandipora, by alert troops."
"On being challenged, terrorists opened indiscriminate fire and escaped into the jungle. Search Operation underway," the tweet added.
Meanwhile, in Khayar locality of Srinagar, another encounter broke out between security forces and terrorists. The security forces have launched a cordon and search operation following inputs about the presence of terrorists in the area.
The exchange of firing is going on, but so far there are no reports of any casualty on either side, officials said.
The officials added that the search operation turned into an encounter after the terrorists fired upon a search party of the forces, who retaliated.
A series of terrorist attacks in the valley has been on the rise as two migrant workers from UP were wounded in a suspected terrorist strike on a Jal Jeevan Mission project site at Mazhama in central Kashmir's Budgam district, making this the sixth targeted attack on non-natives in J&K this year and the third after the new govt headed by Omar Abdullah assumed office on Oct 16.
On Oct 18, the bullet-riddled body of a 30-year-old migrant labourer from Bihar's Banka district was found in a maize field near Rambiara river in south Kashmir's Shopian district. The labourer, Ashok Chauhan, had been abducted and killed by terrorists. Barely a week later, on Oct 24, a 19-year-old barber named Shubam Kumar from UP's Bijnor suffered a gunshot wound in his right arm in a terrorist attack at Batagund village in south Kashmir’s Pulwama.
