Srinagar, January 9: Security forces on Tuesday successfully eliminated two unknown terrorists after a fierce encounter that took place in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district. However, the combat operation is still underway.

 

Notably, two unknown terrorists were killed by security forces after a fierce encounter that took place in Larnoo area of Kokernag in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir. The encounter broke out early morning after a joint team of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and the Indian Army cordoned off an area in Anantnag's Kokernag forest.

The search operation was launched based on an intelligence tip-off. One of the two terrorists killed was identified as Mohd Furhan Wani. Earlier on Monday, security forces gunned down an unknown terrorist in Chadoora of Budgam district in Jammu and Kashmir after a group of terrorists opened fire on a police party.
