Anantnag: Security forces have shot down two unidentified militants in an encounter in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, police said.
Security forces launched a cordon and search operation at Waghama in Anantnag district in south Kashmir this morning after receiving specific information about the presence of militants in the area, a police official said.
The search operation turned into an encounter after militants fired upon the search party of the forces, who retaliated.
These two eliminated terrorists are the ones who killed a CRPF jawan and a 5-year-old boy three days ago, said Jammu and Kashmir DGP, Dilbag Singh.
