The encounter took place in the Dayalgam residential area around 10.40 am.
Acting on a specific input, a team of security personnel from the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Army cordoned off the area in the night.

In the exchange of fire four terrorists were killed.
"An encounter broke out with terrorists at around 10.40 a.m. today (Sunday) in Dayalgam residential area in Anantnag. After the operation, troops recovered dead body of four terrorists," the CRPF official said.
