EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
An encounter broke out between security forces and terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pinglan area of Pulwama district today, in which four Army personnel were killed. According to reports two JeM terrorists, believed to be the masterminds of the Pulwama terror attack are trapped in the area. The gunfight started late Sunday night after security forces, including the Rashtriya Rifles (RR), Special Operations Group (SOG) of the state police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), surrounded Pinglena village upon receiving a tip-off that Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) militants were hiding in the area.
"As the cordon was tightened, the holed-up militants fired triggering the gunfight," police sources said, adding that a search operation is ongoing at the site.
The encounter comes days after over 40 CRPF personnel were killed in a terror attack in Pulwama.
The encounter is still underway. Catch LIVE updates on Pulwama encounter.
