Five militants were gunned down in an ongoing encounter in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir, army officials said on Wednesday. The encounter also claimed lives of three security personnel.
The encounter started on Monday in a dense forest in Kralpora area of Kupwara. Police and army personnel cordoned off the area on specific information about the presence of militants.
When the encounter started there was heavy firing from the terrorists' side.
Terrorists are said to be carrying heavy arms and a huge cache of ammunition. They have been positioned at the top of the terrain, which gave them a vantage point creating problems for security forces.
An army lieutenant and two police constables were martyred in the operation.
