Terrorist killed in Kashmir gunfight

"One unidentified terrorist killed. Operation in progress," police said. 

Earlier the gunfight between terrorists and security forces took place after a joint team of the police and the Army cordoned off the area and launched a search operation on the basis of specific information about the presence of terrorists. 

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