Two suspected Pakistani militants were killed in gunfight in north Kashmir’s Bandipora district on Tuesday.
The gunfight erupted early in the morning, when police and army cordoned Bonikhan Mohalla in Hajin, around 30 km from here, after an input about militants’ presence in the area.

“As the searches were being carried out, militants opened fire and it was retaliated triggering an encounter. In the gunfight two militants were killed,” a police officer said.

He said both the slain militants were Pakistanis and were associated with Lashkar-e-Toiba. 

Two weapons and ammunition were recovered from the slain militants. The security forces also recovered two new currency notes of Rs 2,000 from the slain militants.  

Security forces have stepped up anti-militancy operations across Kashmir which had remained halted during the unrest triggered by the killing of militant commander Burhan Wani.
