Earlier, a terrorist was neutralised by the security forces in Verinag encounter in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir. The gunbattle started at around 2.30am, according to a tweet from Kashmri Zone Police.

A policeman has been injured in the Anantnag encounter, the police informed through Twitter, adding that the encounter is still going on.

The operation was launched after a terrorist managed to escape from an encounter in nearby Natipora area. One Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist was killed in firing on Friday.

The valley has witnessed a series of civilian killings this month, due to which there is high security in the entire region. The security forces have detained at least 500 people as part of their investigation. Suspected members of banned terrorist groups such as Jamaat-e-Islami have been interrogated to trace their roles in the murders.
