ஜம்மு காஷ்மீரின் ட்ரால் பகுதியில் பாதுகாப்புப் படையினருக்கும் பயங்கரவாதிகளுக்கும் இடையே பயங்கர துப்பாக்கிச்சண்டை நடைபெற்றது. இதில் பயங்கரவாதிகள் மூன்று பேர் சுட்டுக்கொல்லப்பட்டனர். அவர்கள் மூவரும் பாகிஸ்தானிலிருந்து செயல்படும் ஜெய்ஷ் இ முகம்மது இயக்கத்தைச் சேர்ந்தவர்களாக இருக்கலாம் என்று கருதப்படுகிறது.
சுட்டுக்கொல்லப்பட்ட பயங்கரவாதிகளிடம் இருந்து பயங்கர ஆயுதங்கள் வெடிபொருட்கள் கைப்பற்றப்பட்டன. துப்பாக்கிச்சண்டை நடைபெற்ற பகுதிக்குள் வேறு ஏதேனும் பயங்கரவாதிகள் பதுங்கியுள்ளார்களா? என்று பாதுகாப்புப் படையினர் தீவிர தேடுதல் வேட்டை நடத்தி வருகின்றனர்.
