Three Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists have been gunned down in an encounter with security forces in South Kashmir's Shopian, around a fortnight after the deadly Pahalgam terror attack.

The terrorists were trapped in the Shukroo forest area of Keller. A top police officer said that a massive cordon and search operation was launched in the forests of Kellar after receiving specific information about the presence of some terrorists.

As the team of police and army started a combing operation, the hiding terrorists fired upon the party, triggering a gunfight. During the exchange of fire, three LeT terrorists were killed, however identity of the terrorists is being ascertained.
