JAMMU & KASHMIR – A terrorist was gunned down by security forces after an intense 15-hour operation in Kathua district, officials reported on Wednesday. The operation, aimed at neutralizing two terrorists, also resulted in the death of a CRPF jawan and injuries to a civilian.

The operation started on Tuesday night when two terrorists were spotted in Saida Sukhal village. Senior officers' vehicles were hit by bullets, but they escaped unhurt. In a related incident, five Rashtriya Rifles troopers and one special police officer were wounded when terrorists attacked a joint checkpost in Doda district's Chattergalla area.
