The encounter started in Kupwara district's Kumkari area during an anti-terrorist operation. It is the second such incident recorded in three days.

The Indian Army on Saturday foiled an attack by Pakistan’s Border Action Team (BAT) in Kamakari sector of Kupwara in Jammu and Kashmir, in which a Pakistani intruder was killed, military sources said.

The BAT generally comprises special forces personnel of the Pakistan Army and terrorists.

“Action by Border Action Team has been foiled by alert Indian Army troops this morning in Kamakari Sector,” one of the sources said.

“One Pakistani intruder has been killed. Five personnel have suffered injuries in the ensuing operations,” he added. Further details of the operation are awaited, they said.
