Bhaderwah/Jammu: An encounter broke out on Wednesday between terrorists and security forces in a forest area in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district, police officials said.

The gunfight started in Bajaad village in Gandoh area around 9:50 am amid intensified search and cordon operation by the police along with the Army and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) following twin terrorist attacks in the hilly district on June 11 and 12, the officials said.

Six security personnel were injured when terrorists attacked a joint check post at Chattargalla on June 11, while a policeman was injured in a gunfight with terrorists at Kota top in Gandoh area the next day.
