A gunfight has started between terrorists and security forces in the Feeripora area of South Kashmir's Shopian district on Tuesday, officials said.
The gunfight took place after a joint team of the police and the Army cordoned off the area and launched a search operation on the basis of specific information about the presence of terrorists. As the security forces zeroed in on the spot where the terrorists were hiding they came under a heavy volume of fire that triggered the encounter.
This is the second gunfight in Shopian in less than 24 hours.
Earlier on Tuesday, three Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists were killed in an encounter between the terrorists and security forces at Tulran Imamsahab area in Shopian.
The terrorist responsible for the killing of a street hawker Virendra Paswan of Bihar was among the three LeT men gunned down - IANS
