Indian army surrounds Jaish terrorists in Kashmir, operation ongoing

SRINAGAR: The Indian army has surrounded two terrorists responsible for the murder of two village defence guards, in Kashmir. The mission is now ongoing in Kishtwar district of Kashmir. It is learned that four terrorists are inside the premises circled by the army. Three jawans of the paratroop were injured in the exchange of fire with the militants, the army said.
