Srinagar: A Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Nisar Dar on Saturday killed in an encounter between terrorists and security forces in Anantnag, in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir.

Security forces launched a cordon and search operation in the Sirhama area of Anantnag following inputs about the presence of militants there, a police official said.

He said the search operation turned into an encounter after the hiding militants fired upon the security forces, who retaliated.

In the ensuing exchange of firing, one local militant of the LeT outfit was killed, the official said.

He said the group affiliation of the slain ultra is being ascertained.

Meanwhile, another encounter broke out at the Chaki Samad area of DH Pora in neighbouring Kulgam district in south Kashmir, the official said. (PTI)
