One militant was killed in an ongoing anti-militancy operation in north Kashmir’s Baramulla on June 23.
“One terrorist has been killed in the ongoing anti-infiltration operation that was launched on June 22 in the Uri Sector. Operations are continuing,” an Army spokesman said.
The Army established contact with a group of freshly infiltrated militants near the Line of Control in Baramulla district’s Uri Sector on Saturday.
An official said the group of militants was spotted in the Bajrang-Uri sector. The group was engaged in a firefight in the anti-militancy operation, which was launched following “inputs about the presence of some infiltrating terrorists” in the area.
