Srinagar: Two soldiers were injured after a fierce encounter broke out between security forces and terrorists in the Ahlan Gagarmandu area of the Anantnag district in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday afternoon.
The injuries were reported after the terrorists fired on security forces, which had launched a cordon and search operation in Ahlan Gadole following information about their presence in the forest in the Kokernag subdivision, the NDTV reported, quoting sources.
