“Encounter has started at Hoowra village of Kulgam district. Police and Security Forces are on the job. One JKP personnel got injured. Operation in progress,” officials said.

After security forces cordoned off the area, terrorists hiding there started firing drawing retaliation from the security forces.
There have been a series of encounters between terrorists and security forces across Kashmir in the recent past in which many terrorists have been eliminated.
