3 militants killed in Kulgam encounter.

Three Lashkar-e-Toiba militants have been killed in a gunfight at Samno area of South Kashmir’s Kulgam district on Friday, an official said.

A senior police officer confirmed that three LeT militants had been killed. However, their identity is yet to be ascertained while searches continue. Yesterday, a joint team of Police and the army launched a cordon and search operation in the area.

As the joint team of forces zeroed towards the suspected spot, the hiding militants fired on the joint team, which retaliated, triggering a gunfight.

The operation was suspended due to darkness in the area for precautionary measures and resumed this morning with the first light. (GNS)
