The gunfight started after joint teams of security forces launched a search operation in the area. According to officials speaking to news agency, the encounter started when the security forces approached a suspected location. As the search party moved closer, the terrorists opened fire, prompting the forces to retaliate, leading to an ongoing exchange of fire.
