Four Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, who were killed in an encounter on Saturday night in the Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir, had been hiding in Chinnigam Frisal, where they had built a bunker inside a wardrobe. This peculiar set up can be seen in a video that surfaced online.
In an hours-long encounter in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district, security forces killed six terrorists in two separate confrontations. Unfortunately, two soldiers were martyred during the conflict.
A video that surfaced online shows security officials examining a small but well-fortified concrete hideout hidden behind a wardrobe in a civilian residence.
Two army soldiers, including an elite para commando, sacrificed their lives while battling terrorists. Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police, RR Swain, described the neutralization of such a significant number of terrorists as a major achievement.
