Indian security forces have killed two terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district on Saturday, media reports said.

The gunfight began in the Chak Taper Kreeri in the Pattan area of the north Kashmir district late Friday after a joint operation was launched by the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir police based on specific intelligence input regarding the presence of terrorists, reported NDTV.

The operation is ongoing.

Two soldiers were killed during a fierce gunbattle with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar on Friday, the Indian Army said.

Two other soldiers also received injuries while in action in the Kishtwar encounter.

In a separate encounter in Kathua, troops of the Rising Star Corps shot dead two terrorists.

In a statement, the army said that based on intelligence inputs, a joint operation was launched with Jammu and Kashmir Police at Kishtwar.

Contact was established with terrorists at 3:30 PM. In the ensuing firefight, four army personnel were injured, the army said.

The operation was underway till the last report was received.

The gunbattle in Kishtwar's Chatroo began after the security forces launched an operation in the area.

The encounter is still going on, the White Knight Corps said in a post on X.

According to reports, these same terrorists were involved in the encounter in Kishtwar and are linked to another encounter in Doda in July, when four soldiers including an officer were killed in action.

The encounters come days ahead of the Jammu and Kashmir election in Kathua that will commence on Sept 18.
