Two militants were killed in an encounter in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district on December 16 in an overnight encounter.
The police reported on Thursday that a gunfight erupted at Redwani Bala late on Wednesday night when a joint team of security forces launched a cordon and search operation (CASO) in the area after receiving information about the presence of militants in the area.
“The CASO turned into a gunfight when hiding militants opened fire on the security forces. In the ensuing gunfight, two unidentified terrorists have been killed” police said.
The search operation is still underway in the area. On Wednesday, a Hizbul-Mujahideen militant commander was killed in a gunfight in the neighboring Pulwama district.
