Army officer injured in encounter in Kashmir

Srinagar, (Samajweekly) One army officer was injured in an ongoing encounter in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Friday, army sources said.

The encounter started in Yedipora after a joint team of the police and the army cordoned off the area on the basis of a specific information about terrorists in that area.

As the security forces zeroed in on the spot where the terrorists were hiding they came under a heavy volume of fire that triggered the encounter.

“Encounter has started in the Yedipora Pattan area of Baramulla. Police and security forces are on the job,” police said.
