The operation was launched after what sources described as 'precise intelligence input' provided by the local police. The trapped terrorists are thought to be part of the same group that recently escaped an earlier encounter in the same region. This follows recent encounters in South Kashmir's Tral and Shopian, where six terrorists were killed.
