Srinagar: One terrorist has been killed in an encounter with the security forces in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Saturday.

As the security forces zeroed in on the spot, they came under a heavy volume of fire that triggered the encounter.
Till reports last came in, two to three terrorists are believed to be trapped in the area where the operation continues, added the police official.
