In Jammu and Kashmir, two Pakistani terrorists, including a top commander of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) outfit, were killed today after they were trapped inside a natural cave in Udhampur district. Our Jammu Correspondent reports that several powerful blasts were heard when the forces stormed the cave around noon.
One of the deceased terrorists is Rubani alias Abu Mavia, a top commander of Jaish-e-Mohammad outfit, who was active in the area for the last several years. While the body of one of the terrorists was lying at the mouth of the cave, another was found lying deep inside it. The terrorists were located by joint troops of the Army, police and CRPF amid intensified search operations in the higher reaches of Ramnagar-Basantgarh area around 4 PM yesterday, leading to a fierce gunfight. Army named the over 20-hour-long operation as “Kiya” and said though it is over, the area still remains under surveillance.
