Security forces launched a cordon and search operation in Kutpora area of the south Kashmir district following specific information about the presence of terrorists there, a police official said.
He said the search operation turned into an encounter after the terrorists fired upon the security forces, who retaliated.
The exchange of firing is going on and further details were awaited, the official added.
Earlier on Monday, Additional Director General of BSF, Surinder Pawar said that terrorist activities at the launching pads across the Line of Control (LoC) have not died down but the troops are ready to face the challenge.
At least, 250 to 300 militants are still present at the launch pads across LoC waiting to infiltrate in the valley before snowfall begins, he said.
