Army guns down 3 intruders in flood-hit Kashmir

In a major counter-infiltration operation, the Army on Wednesday morning gunned down 3 militants in Kashmir Valley's Keran sector.

A Defence Ministry spokesperson confirmed the incident, saying the intruders were killed by the armed forces in a bid to cross the Line of Control.

A large quantity of arms and ammunition were recovered from them.

The counter-insurgency operation has taken place at a time when the Valley is hit by flash floods.

Nearly 200 people have died and thousands are stranded across the state, including Srinagar.

The Army and NDRF have launched a massive rescue mission, airlifting the affected people to safety.
