Two militants were killed in an encounter with security forces in Kulgam district of south Kashmir on Wednesday.
The gunfight took place in the Kujjar area, following specific intelligence regarding the presence of militants.
The Kashmir Zone police confirmed the killing of the two militants through a post on X, stating that the operation was still ongoing.
