The encounter started late Monday (26 June) night and continued till Tuesday early morning.
This comes just four days (23 June) after the security forces shot dead four terrorists in the Machhal sector of North Kashmir's Kupwara district.
The terrorists were trying to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir after crossing the Line of Control from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Just a week before (16 June), another five terrorists were killed in the Jumagund area of Kupwara district, following yet another encounter (on 13 June) in the same Machhal area, where two terrorists were killed.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
