Baramulla encounter

The Baramulla encounter took place a day after two Indian Army soldiers were martyred during an operation in Kishtwar.

The mission started late on Friday night when a cordon-and-search operation was launched in the Chak Taper Kreeri Pattan area of the Baramulla district.The terrorists fired on a search party of the forces, who then retaliated.

"Based on specific intelligence input regarding the presence of terrorists, a Joint Operation was launched by the Indian Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police on the intervening night of 13-14 Sept,in general area Chak Tapar Kreeri, Baramulla. Contact was established and a firefight ensued," the Chinar Corps said.

The valley has seen a rise in encounters in recent months as authorities increase the intensity of action against terror. Intel reports in July claimed that around70 to 80foreign terrorists were active in the region, prompting the Indian government to deploy additional infantry troops as well as Special Forces personnel.
