The 15-hours long gunbattle between the security forces and terrorists holed up in a house in north Kashmir's Sopore town ended early on Sunday. The encounter ended as the militants hiding in the house escaped. A combing operation, to hunt the militants, has begun.
The gunfight began late on Saturday evening. According to media reports, the encounter continued for around 15 hours.
Police said troops of 22 Rashtriya Rifles and the Special Operations Group of the state police had surrounded a house in Sopore, 52 km from Srinagar, on Saturday evening following a tip-off on the presence of militants. The militants then started indiscriminate automatic gunfire at the surrounding security men.
