A gunbattle broke out between terrorists and the police in Sopore town of north Kashmir on Saturday evening, but there were no immediate reports of any casualty or damage.

The terrorists, believed to be two in number, started firing indiscriminately on the police party, they said.

The policemen returned the fire and the gunbattle is still on, the police said.
