In a major blow to terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, the longest surviving Hizbul Mujahideen commander, Farooq Ahmad Bhat alias Nalli, was among the five categorized terrorists killed on Thursday in an encounter in south Kashmir's Kadder village in Behibagh in Kulgam district.

Two security forces personnel were injured during the gunfight.

Nalli, an 'A++ category terrorist' and a close aide of top terrorists Burhan Wani and Riyaz Naikoo, evaded forces for over a decade. He was involved in several attacks at civilians and security forces.
