In a big success for security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, six terrorists including two Pakistani nationals were killed in two separate encounters in Kulgam and Anantnag districts on Wednesday (29 December).
The slain terrorists belonged to the Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed.
"Identification of other two terrorists is being ascertained. A big success for us," Kumar added.
