Two suspected militants were killed and a policeman was injured in a brief shootout in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Friday.
The two were killed at Kralhar Baramulla along the Srinagar-Baramulla highway when an SUV they were travelling in was asked to stop at a naka, police spokesman said
“The militants fired upon the police party and in the exchange of fire both the militants were killed. One AK rifle, two Chinese pistols and ammunition was recovered,” he said.
Police said both the slain militants were Pakistani nationals and were associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed.
