Two Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists were killed in an ongoing encounter with security forces in Pinglan area of Pulwama district on Monday.
Security forces recovered an AK-47 and a pistol from the site.
The encounter comes four days after 40 CRPF personnel were killed in a suicide attack orchestrated by the JeM - a Pakistan-based terror outfit- in Awantipora area of Pulwama.
Four Indian Army personnel, including a Major, were also killed in the encounter that broke out earlier today.
Identities of the two terrorists are being ascertained, and a search operation is being conducted.
In the wake of the encounter, police in Pulwama appealed to locals to leave the encounter site.
Further details are awaited.
