Two terrorists were killed in an encounter with security forces on Saturday (31 July) in the Dachigam forest area of South Kashmir's Pulwama district, police said.
The encounter started after a joint team of the police and army cordoned off the area and launched a search operation on the basis of specific information about the presence of terrorists.
"Exact location of encounter is between Namibian & Marsar, general area Dachigam forest," the J&K police said in a tweet.
Confirming the deaths, the police said that a search is currently underway in the area.
The security forces also recovered AK and M-4 rifles from their possession.
Earlier last week also, the security forces had gunned down two terrorists in Shokbaba forests in Bandipora district.
