One terrorist's body was recovered on Saturday evening while the other terrorist's body was found on the morning of Sunday. The deceased terrorists are from Shopian itself and have been identified as Mohd Irfan Bhat and Shahid Mir.
As per a statement released by the state's police, "A couple of terrorists managed to escape from the site as blood trails have been seen at the site."
