Three terrorists have been killed by security forces in Zadibal Soura area of Srinagar, police said. The terrorists were holed up inside a house in the area, police said, adding that the terrorists had refused an offer to surrender before the security forces.
Two of the terrorists have been active since 2019, they said. "One was involved in attack on two BSF jawans last month," officials added.
Security forces launched a cordon and search operation in the area this morning following specific intelligence inputs. The terrorists fired at the search party when they approached the house, leading to a gunfight.
Earlier a news agency, quoting a senior police official, had reported that the security forces had even called the parents of the terrorists to appeal to them to surrender. "Through our sources we go to know of their identity and called their parents who appealed to them to surrender. But they didn't relent," Kashmir's Inspector General of police,Vijay Kumar, was quoted as saying.
Authorities have suspended mobile Internet services in the city as a precautionary measure, a police official said.
Restrictions on the movement of people have also been imposed in most parts in downtown areas of the city, he added.
