Srinagar, Mar 28 (IBNS): A fierce gunfight erupted between security forces and militants in central Kashmir’s Budgam district, police said on Tuesday.

According to an official, on specific inputs about presence of some militants hiding in Durbugh village, the army and a Special Operation Group of Jammu and Kashmir Police cordoned off area from 6 am this morning.

Militants, who were holed-up in a house, were fired at, triggering the gunfight.

"Initial reports said one or two militants were hiding," the police added, there are no reports of fatalities or injuries as of now.

Meanwhile, some armed militants barged into the residence of an assistant sub-inspector of police and a constable in Kashmir’s Shopian
district and ransacked their houses on Monday night.

The militants fired gunshots into the air before fleeing from the spot.
