## Intense Encounter Underway Between Security Forces and Terrorists in Jammu's Gandoh Area
An intense encounter is currently underway between security forces and terrorists in the Sinoo area of Gandoh, Jammu and Kashmir[1][3]. The area where the terrorists are believed to be hiding has been completely surrounded by Indian forces[1].
The gunfight started around 9:50 am in Bajaad village in the Gandoh area[3]. Security forces launched a cordon and search operation after receiving intelligence inputs about the presence of terrorists in the region[1][4].
During the search operation, terrorists opened fire on the security forces, who retaliated[2][4]. An intermittent exchange of fire between the two sides is ongoing[2].
Reinforcements have been rushed to the area to strengthen the cordon and hunt down the terrorists[2][4]. Additional troops have been deployed to the encounter site[4].
This is the second terror-related incident in Doda district in the last 24 hours and the fourth in three days in Jammu and Kashmir[2][4]. On June 12, a policeman was injured in a similar gunfight with terrorists in the Gandoh area[2][4].
The security forces are engaged in a fierce battle with the terrorists, who are believed to be holed up in a border village[4]. The operation is still underway, and further details are awaited.
