Jammu: A terrorist was killed and a policeman injured in an ongoing encounter on Friday in Jammu, police said.

One terrorist was shot down in the first exchange of fire in which a policeman was also injured.

The other three terrorists ran into the forest.

Singh said that a search operation was immediately started and an exchange of fire was going on between the terrorists and the security forces.
