Kulgam: Army officials said that three soldiers died in an encounter with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district. A search is on for the terrorists in the area.
The clash started on Friday evening and continued late into the night. The terrorists attacked during an inspection conducted by the army after receiving information that terrorists were holed up in the Halan forest area. More troops and police have been sent to the region.
In April and May, 10 soldiers, including elite commandos, were killed in terrorist attacks in Poonch and Rajouri districts. These are areas that were considered free from terrorist activity for two decades.
