Terrorists later mutilated the body of killed army jawan near the Line of Control (LoC) in Macchil sector of Kupwara district of Kashmir.
"In an encounter close to the Line of Control this evening, one solider was martyred and one terrorist was killed. The terrorists mutilated the body of the jawan before fleeing back into Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir under the cover of firing by Pakistan Army," an army spokesman said.
He said the incident reflected the barbarism pervading in official and unofficial organisations in Pakistan. "The incident will be responded to appropriately," he added.
