NEW DELHI: Security forces engaged in a short gunfight with terrorists in the Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday.

The incident occurred during a joint search operation in Chatroo , which was initiated based on intelligence about the presence of terrorists in the area.

"Contact was established (with terrorists) and a few rounds have been fired from both sides," said a police spokesperson quoted by news agency PTI.
