“As a result of continuous intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) of the area, a location of terrorists was identified and security forces were heli inserted [to nab the terrorists].”
The statement said that while the forces were establishing positions to cut off escape routes, four terrorists opened fire on the troops.
