Pakistan makes repeated attempts to incite terrorism in Kashmir, but they have to face the Indian security forces every time. A similar effort was made on Thursday as well. The army killed three Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists who had infiltrated Pakistan from Jumagund village along the Line of Control in district Kupwara during an encounter.

The slain terrorists are yet to be identified but a huge quantity of arms, ammunition, and incriminating material has been recovered from the encounter site. Confirming the killing of all three terrorists, IG Kashmir Vijay Kumar said that the killing of these terrorists immediately after the infiltration is a big success. He also congratulated the army and police for this.

Police sources say that these terrorists had infiltrated Indian territory from Jumagund village adjacent to the Line of Control at night. When some people of the village saw suspicious activity outside the village, they informed the police. The police also without wasting time started searching for the terrorists along with the army personnel. At one place, a face-off between terrorists and security forces started. The firing started from both sides. The security forces asked the terrorists to lay down their arms but they continued the firing.

Meanwhile, the security forces killed all three one after the other during the siege of the three terrorists. These terrorists associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba had come to Pakistan to accelerate the terrorist incidents in Kashmir after taking weapons training. IGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar said that the three terrorists are being identified.
