Three terrorists, suspected to be affiliated with the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) outfit, were killed in a gunfight that lasted over six hours in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district on Wednesday, police officials confirmed.

The encounter took place in Bajaad village in the Gandoh area starting at around 9:50 am during a cordon-and-search operation launched by the police, Army, and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The operation was intensified following twin terrorist attacks in Doda on June 11 and 12, injuring six security personnel and a policeman in separate incidents.

In the wake of the attacks, security forces increased their anti-terrorist measures, offering a notable cash reward for information on four Pakistani terrorists believed to have infiltrated the region. Heavy gunfire and explosions marked the encounter, culminating in the elimination of three terrorists and the seizure of a large quantity of arms and ammunition, including two M4 carbines and an AK-series assault rifle.
