A militant was killed in an early morning gunfight in south Kashmir’s Shopian on Thursday, police said.
Police said the killed militant belonged to The Resistance Front (TRF), which police claims is a shadow group of Laskhkar-e-Toiba (LeT).
On early Thursday morning, a joint team of J-K Police and army cordoned off the Kathohakan village of Shopian in south Kashmir after specific intelligence inputs about presence of militants in the village.
Police officials said that as soon as the joint team of forces zeroed in on the target, the militants opened fire to break the security cordon. The joint team of forces retaliated the fire leading to a gunfight.
