Kulgam encounter: One terrorist killed, operation underway
Security forces killed a terrorist during an overnight encounter in Kulgam, South Kashmir, after getting intel about militants hiding in the Akhal forest.
The operation, called Operation Akhal, kicked off recently and escalated quickly when terrorists opened fire on the troops.
Operation Akhal follows the recently launched Operation Mahadev
Operation Akhal is part of a recent wave of counter-terror efforts across Jammu and Kashmir.
Just days earlier, Operation Mahadev led to three terrorists being killed after the deadly April Pahalgam attack.
Around the same time as the Kulgam clash, two more militants trying to cross from Pakistan were stopped near Poonch.
The Army says they're still working to clear out any remaining threats in Kulgam and nearby areas.
