Two Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists have been killed in an encounter in Pulwama district in South Kashmir.
The encounter began on Monday evening in Drabgam village, which had been cordoned off by security forces.
Both terrorists were locals.
A search operation was still ongoing this morning.
In June, the Union Home Ministry told Parliament that 133 terrorists had been killed in Jammu and Kashmir in the first half of the year.
It said as many as 733 had been killed since 2016.
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said last week that no civilians had been killed since the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status in August, but "on the other hand, our security forces have killed a number of terrorists and normalcy is returning there."
