Srinagar: Four terrorists have been killed and one captured, in an encounter with security forces in Naugam sector near the LoC in Kupwara district of Kashmir. The apprehended terrorist has been identified as Bahadur Ali from Lahore in Pakistan. Security forces have cordoned off the area. The gun battle is currently underway.

"Four terrorists have been killed while one has been apprehended alive during the operation in Naugam sector," an army officer said, adding that the operation was still going on and it would be premature to say whether it was an infiltration bid or not.

"We have got one of them alive and expect some vital information from him," the officer said.
