An unidentified militant has been killed in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district after a gunfight erupted on Saturday, police have said.

The gunfight erupted at Saloosa Kreeri when joint teams of forces launched a cordon and a search operation.

“During a CASO, an encounter broke in which one militant has been killed so far,” a police officer said, adding the operation was still under way.
