Two terrorists were killed and six persons, including two army personnel, were injured yesterday as an encounter raged in Pulwama district of south Kashmir, police said. The gunbattle began yesterday morning after the security forces launched a search operation following a specific tip-off about the presence of terrorists in Bahmnoo area of Pulwama, police said.
"Two terrorists have been killed so far while the operation is still in progress," the spokesman said yesterday. The identity of the slain ultras could not be ascertained immediately, he added. Two army personnel sustained minor injuries when the third terrorist hurled a grenade while the security forces were retrieving the bodies of the two killed ultras, a police official said.
The official said four persons sustained injuries as security forces used force to chase stone-pelting protestors near the encounter site.
