A gunbattle is underway between security forces and terrorists in Hajin village of Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipore district. The area was earlier cordoned off by the police and the army after they suspected the presence of terrorists.

On November 28, a gunbattle had ensued between security forces and militants in Jammu and Kashmir's Langate area in Kupwara district.
