The gunfight erupted around noon at Zantrag Khrew village in Awantipora sub-district, 50 km from Srinagar, when joint teams of security forces were carrying out a combing operation in the area following inputs about the presence of militants.

“As the cluster of houses close to a forest area was being cordoned off, the hiding militants opened indiscriminate fire, injuring a soldier and an SPO, who were part of an advance team,” a source said. The injured were shifted to a hospital where they succumbed.
