Two soldiers were injured on Saturday in an ongoing gunfight between the security forces and guerrillas holed up in north Kashmir's Kupwara district.
"Two Rashtriya Rifles (RR) soldiers were injured today (Saturday) in an encounter with holed-up guerrillas in Chak Drugmulla village," a senior police officer told IANS.
"A group of two to three guerrillas are holed up inside an abandoned house in the village that was surrounded by the RR, Central Reserve Police Force and police personnel.
"Heavy exchange of gunfire is going on. All exit routes have been sealed," he said.
