Of the two terrorists killed, one was a foreigner and the other a local, reported the Hindustan Times. Their group affiliation was yet to be ascertained, reported the PTI citing officials. Till the last reports came in, the encounter was still underway.

Meanwhile, visuals of another encounter that broke out between security forces and terrorists on the same day in the Khanyar area of Srinagar showed thick smoke emanating from the site.

Based on the inputs claiming the presence of militants in the area, security forces launched a cordon and search operation.
