The Indian Army killed a Pakistani terrorist during an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri during the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday.
The operation — OP DIGGI 2 — was jointly carried out by the Chinar Corps and the Jammu and Kashmir Police, based on intelligence inputs regarding an infiltration attempt.
While combing the area, alert troops spotted movement in the thicket and cornered a Pakistani terrorist, who opened “indiscriminate fire”, the Chinar Corps said.
The terrorist was then eliminated by Army personnel and war-like stores, including an AK rifle, pistols, and a large quantity of ammunition was recovered.
The operation is still underway.
