Jammu: Security forces have killed two militants, but one is still believed to be holed in. No Independence Day respite in the Kashmir Valley as security forces are locked in a fierce encounter that began at around 2.00 pm on Saturday with three Lashkar terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district.
The security forces corner three Lashkar terrorists believed to be behind the attack on an army convoy at Thanamandi earlier this week.
Militants opened indiscriminate fire on security forces, which retaliated. However, residents have been sent to nearby villages to ensure their safety and security.
Reports say the militants are the same ones who had attacked an army military convoy in Thanamandi four days back. Two people had died and 17 others had been injured in the attack.
Meanwhile, security was put on high alert in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday with mounted vigil on the frontier with Pakistan on the eve of the Independence Day.
Sources say, security has been beefed up at all the "sensitive and vulnerable points across the Jammu region". The senior police, paramilitary and army officials were carrying out security reviews.
