Operation Akhal, one of the longest anti-terror operations in Jammu and Kashmir, began on August 1, killing two terrorists so far in the gunfight.
The encounter began after security forces launched a cordon and search operation in a forest area at Akhal in the south Kashmir district, after receiving specific intelligence inputs about the presence of terrorists here.
