Srinagar/IBNS: The Army has recovered the bodies of the two soldiers, who went missing in the midst of a fierce gun battle with terrorists on Thursday evening in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch, according to media reports.

The junior commissioned officer (JCO) and the soldier went missing when the Army came under heavy firing from the terrorists on Thursday.

"Subedar Ajay Singh and Naik Harendra Singh were killed in action during search operations being conducted by the Indian Army along with Jammu and Kashmir Police in densely forested area of Nar Khas forest in Mendhar, Poonch," the army said in a statement today, reported NDTV.

Two soldiers - Rifleman Yogambar Singh and rifleman Vikram Singh Negi - were earlier martyred during the battle with terrorists in Poonch-Rajouri forests, it added.

Four days ago five army personnel were killed in action in the same area.

The Army launched a combing operation in Dera Ki Gali on Monday after receiving information about the presence of terrorists there.

A major offensive was launched this morning in Nar Khas forest area in Mendhar.
