Two Lashker-e-Taiba terrorists were killed in an encounter with security forces in south Kashmir's Anantnag town this morning following an intelligence tip off about their presence inside a house, police said.
A joint team of the police, CRPF and Army cordoned off a house at Mehman Mohalla, Lal Chowk of the town after a specific input about the presence of the two LeT terrorists was received, they said.
Senior Superintendent of Police (Anantnag) Altaf Khan and his team were monitoring the situation.
Inspector General of Police (Kashmir range) Swayam Prakash Pani said, "This was a difficult operation as it was in a crowded locality. All civilians were evacuated and the room intervention team completed the operation. There was no collateral damage."
