A Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant was killed and a policeman injured during an anti-militancy operation in north Kashmir's Bandipora district on Thursday.
Preliminary reports suggest that militants opened fire when a village was cordoned off in Bandipora's Hajin area, around 30 km away from Srinagar, in the wee hours.
A police official said one LeT militant, identified as Musaib, was killed in the exchange of fire. "Another militant is believed to have escaped the site," police sources said.
One personnel of the police's Special Operation Group was also injured. The injured policeman has been hospitalised.
Of late, security agencies are witnessing a heightened militant activity in Sumbal Sonamarg in north Kashmir.
