Srinagar: Security forces foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control in Keran sector of Jammu and Kashmir and killed four terrorists, hours after violent clashes claimed eight lives and kept voters away from a crucial bypoll in Srinagar Lok Sabha seat.
“Four militants killed during an infiltration bid in Keran sector of Jammu and Kashmir,” a statement by the Army said on Monday morning.
Earlier on Sunday, militants fired at a police station in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district, but fled after the police retaliated. Kulgam is part of South Kashmir’s Anantnag Lok Sabha constituency for which bypolls will be held on April 12.
More details awaited
