Pulwama (Jammu and Kashmir):  Three Al-Badr militants were killed in a gunfight with security forces in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday.

A joint team of security forces of Police, Army's 55 RR and CRPF had launched the operation early morning today in Tiken village of the district.

"The militants - once they were holed up - were asked to surrender; however, they refused," Inspector General of Police (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar told ETV Bharat over the phone.

The operation turned into a gunfight after militants opened fire and security forces retaliated, he added.

Confirming the killing of militants, the IGP said, "All the three local militants affiliated with Al-Badr outfit have been killed. 

A civilian was also injured during the exchange of firing. He was immediately evacuated to a nearby hospital for treatment where his condition is said to be stable."
