Kulgam, June 24: Two terrorists have been reportedly killed in an encounter with security forces in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday. The encounter broke out in the afternoon after terrorists attacked an army patrol party in Kulgam’s Chadderbhan area. According to the latest reports, heavy firing is underway between the forces and the terrorists.

Internet services have been suspended in the area due to the ongoing encounter.  Jammu and Kashmir's Director General of Police (DGP) SP Vaid confirmed the death of the two terrorists through his tweet.

After observing Ramzan ceasefire, security forces have resumed military operation in the Kashmir Valley. The centre had suspended all military operations in the valley in the holy month of Ramzan as a goodwill gesture, but terrorist activities did not decrease during that period. Within a week after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pulled out of the alliance with People’s Democratic Party (PDP), six terrorists have been eliminated so far.
