Four Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants, who were behind the recent targeted killings of non-locals, were killed in an operation in south Kashmir’s Shopian on Thursday. Three soldiers, on their way to the encounter site, were killed when their vehicle met with an accident.
“The four LeT terrorists neutralised in the encounter were active in Shopian and adjacent areas of Pulwama. They were involved in six terror crimes, including attacks on outside labourers. A hunt is on for their associates including Aijaz of Pulwama and they will be neutralised soon,” Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar said.
