One foreign terrorist has been killed in an encounter between terrorists and security forces near Shalimar area in Central Kashmir's Srinagar district on Monday, 3 January, officials said.

The firefight between terrorists and security forces took place after a joint team of the police and the security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation on the basis of specific information about presence of terrorists.

"One terrorist killed. Incriminating materials including arms and ammunition recovered. Search going on," police said.

This is the second encounter in Srinagar in quick succession on Monday. Earlier police said Srinagar police neutralised dreaded terrorist of proscribed terror outfit LeT Salim Parray.
