Kashmir: Terrorist killed in ongoing encounter in Tral

One jawan has been injured and one terrorist killed in an ongoing encounter between security forces and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Tral.

The injured jawan has now been rushed to a nearby Army hospital.

Three Jaish terrorists including top commander Qari Yasir are believed to be trapped at the site in the ongoing encounter. Another terrorist is suspected to be Burhan Sheikh, who was being trained to be a fidayeen.

Qari Yasir, the top Jaish commmander, is a



Pakistan-based terrorist. He was behind the killing of two members of the nomadic Gujjar community from a forested area in Pulwama district in August last year.

Abdul Qadeer Kohli of Rajauri district and Manzoor Ahmed of Khonmoh area of Srinagar were abducted by JeM terrorists from 'Dhok', a temporary shelter, from the forested area of Tral in Pulwama district on August 26, 2019.

Later, bullet-riddled bodies of Kohli and Ahmed were recovered by a search and rescue party. Qari Yasir was the main mastermind behind this whole operation.
