The owner of the house was trapped inside the house. However, the other family members managed to come out. The owner of the house has been safely evacuated by the Army personnel.

Earlier in the morning, a police spokesman said that trapped terrorists had fired at the Quick Reaction Team (QRT) of the Army and tried to escape but they were followed by the Army and encircled in a house. After intense search operation during inclement weather, the encounter between the two sides started at around 12:30 pm in Batote in Ramban district.

Following August 5 when Article 370 was abrogated, several restrictions were imposed in Jammu and Kashmir, in order to prevent the state from sliding into chaos. There were many intel inputs that said that the terror groups in Pakistan have intensified their operations to carry out attacks in Jammu and Kashmir after India decided to strip the state of its separate status.
