Two LeT Terrorists Killed In Encounter In Jammu And Kashmir’s Baramulla

Police say that two terrorists were killed by security troops in the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir. The fight happened early Thursday morning in the Wanigam Payeen Kreeri neighborhood of Baramulla. Security forces had set up a cordon and search operation after getting specific information that terrorists were in the area.

Police say that the search turned into a fight when rebels opened fire on a group of searchers, who then fired back. Police said they found evidence against the terrorists, including an AK-47 rifle and a pistol, as well as weapons and ammo.

Kashmir Zone Police wrote, “#BaramullaEncounterUpdate: Two #terrorists were neutralized. Trying to find out who someone is. “Criminal evidence, weapons, and ammunition, including an AK-47 rifle and a pistol, were found.”

Vijay Kumar, the Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) for Kashmir, said that Shakir Majid Najar and Hanan Ahmad Seh, both from the Shopian district, were members of the banned terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba.

In the Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir, security troops killed two terrorists on Wednesday.

The Defence Public Relations Officer (PRO) in Srinagar said that a security operation was started based on information from the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Kupwara. The SSP said that one of the terrorist launch pads was likely coming from across the Line of Control (LOC) towards Machhal sector. In a statement, the PRO said, “Troops were put on high alert on May 1.”

“In the very hard area, a well-coordinated anti-infiltration grid was set up. Along the possible tracks of the infiltration, the Indian Army and the Special Operations Group (SOG) Kupwara were also stationed. “For two nights in a row, the troops in ambushes had to deal with bad weather that included constant rain, poor visibility, and a big drop in temperature,” the statement said.

“On Wednesday morning around 8:30, the troops saw the terrorists who had sneaked in. Two terrorists were killed in the ensuing shootout,” the report said.
