Kulgam (Jammu Kashmir): At least one soldier was killed, and four terrorists were gunned down by security forces in separate encounters in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district on Saturday, officials said.

When the forces reached the village, the terrorists hiding in a house opened fire, triggering a gunfight.
The intense exchange of gunfire continues at both locations.
Earlier last month, two top commanders from The Resistance Front, an offshoot of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, were trapped in a house they used as a hideout during a gunfight with security forces in Pulwama district.
