Jaish-e-Mohammad commander Saifullah and two other suspected Pakistani terrorists were killed during an anti-militancy operation conducted by the Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district, officials said on Saturday.

According to reports, Saifullah was active in the region for several months.

“The terrorist who has been neutralised in Kishtwar is a big catch. He is Saifullah, a top commander of Jaish-e-Mohammad who was operating in the area for many months,” an official told India Today.
