Another militant was killed in an ongoing gunfight with the government forces in Katriyal forests of Jammu on Thursday, taking the toll to two.
General Officer Commanding (GOC), Uniform Force Major General Arvind Bhatia confirmed the killing of two militants.
He said the militants had recently infiltrated from Samba, Bobiyan through International Border. “The truck driver and co-driver are trained over ground workers,” he said.
