Jammu: Four dreaded Pakistan-trained terrorists were killed and another apprehended by the security forces during an encounter in the Naugam sector near the Line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.

Four terrorists have been killed while one has been apprehended alive during an operation in Naugam sector," an army official said.

He said all the militants were foreign nationals.

The operation was in progress when reports were last received from the encounter site.

The official said as the operation was still going on, it would be premature to say whether it was an infiltration bid or not.

"We have got one of them alive and expect some vital information from him," he added.

Reacting to the development, Union Minister of State (Home) Kiren Rijiju said, ''it is a big achievement that a terrorist was apprehended alive in J&K's Kupwara district.''
