Srinagar, Sept. 8 -- A terrorist was killed and a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) injured in an ongoing encounter in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district, the Army said.

"Vigilant troops observed suspicious activity and upon being challenged, terrorists opened fire, prompting a fierce exchange of gunfire during which one terrorist was eliminated and a junior commissioned officer suffered injuries," the Army's Srinagar-based Chinar Corps said on X.
The Army said the operation was in progress.
