A heavy gunfight broke out between security forces and terrorists in the forest area of Ishber Nishat on the outskirts of Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar on Sunday, officials said.
A heavy exchange of fire is underway.

Dozen injured in Srinagar grenade attack last Sunday
The encounter in Srinagar’s Ishber Nishat area comes exactly a week after 12 civilians were injured in a grenade attack near the heavily guarded Tourist Reception Centre, an area close to Lal Chowk on November 3, last Sunday. Terrorists had lobbed a hand grenade at a security force deployment near the crowded Sunday Market at around 2 pm.
Terrorist killed in another operation
In another operation in Baramulla, the security forces killed a terrorist in the general area of Rajpura, Sopore.
