Gunfight Breaks Out in J&K Kishtwar; Terrorists Trapped by Security Personnel

An exchange of gunfire occurred between security forces and terrorists in the Singhpora area of Chatroo, located in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district, the J&K Police reported on Wednesday. According to reports, at least three terrorists are trapped in the ongoing encounter.

This clash follows closely after India's precision strikes targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir during the early hours of May 7. In retaliation, Pakistan launched attacks on Indian military bases on May 8, 9, and 10, which were met with a strong response from India.

The hostilities ceased after talks between the directors general of military operations from both sides on May 10, resulting in an agreement to halt military actions.

India's Operation Sindoor was initiated as a response to the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists.
