Pakistan-based terror outfit LeT on Wednesday claimed responsibility for the Kupwara encounter. The LeT also threatened to intensify attacks across the Kashmir valley.
"The LeT will continue to render sacrifices for the freedom of Kashmir," LeT spokesman Abdullah Gaznavi said.
The operation in Kupwara should serve as an eye-opener for New Delhi. India should understand that the freedom struggle in Kashmir is not over. It is active with full force," Gaznavi told an English daily in Srinagar.
