A fresh encounter broke out in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua, and the security forces have trapped three terrorists, cordoning off the Panjthirthi area in Kathua. This is the second gun battle between the forces and terrorists in the last three days.
Security forces have launched a major operation after laying out a night cordon.
Earlier in the day, Deputy Inspector General Shiv Kumar Sharma said the operation will continue until the last terrorist is neutralised, as he urged the people living near the border to report any suspicious activities.
