Srinagar, May 21 (IBNS) A gunfight broke out between security forces and a group of terrorists in North Kashmir's Kupwara district on Saturday morning, reports said.

The encounter is still continuing.

Acting on a specific information about the movement of terrorists in the Drugmulla area of the area, a joint team of local police Army's 47 Rashtriya Rifles and CRPF rushed to the spot and cordoned off the area.

The joint team fired towards the suspected spot and the terrorists reportedly hiding in an abandoned house retaliate with indiscriminate firing.

Additional security forces have been rushed from nearby camps, reports said.
