Encounter between terrorists and security forces in Anantnag
An encounter between terrorists and security forces broke out in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir early on Saturday.
The security forces had received information about the presence of militants in the nearby area after which the gunfight broke out.
More details are awaited.
Earlier on Friday, security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama had gunned down four terrorists during an encounter in Panjaran area of the district. The identity of the slain militants was yet to be ascertained. Reports, however, suggested that the terrorists belonged to the JeM (Jaish-e-Mohammed) terrorist organisation.
Among the slain terrorists were two missing SOG men, who along with their service rifles had gone missing from DPL three days ago. The SOG men were going to join the JeM outfit.
The two SPOs, namely Shabir Ahmad and Salman Ahmad Uthmula were posted at DPL Pulwama.
