Two Pakistani terrorists killed in encounter
Jammu: An encounter broke out between security forces and suspected terrorists on Wednesday in Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur district, resulting in the killing of two militants, according to preliminary information. The operation is currently ongoing in the Majalta area, where heavy firing was reported.
Security agencies said the two terrorists, identified as Jabbar and Mavi, were believed to be Pakistani nationals. Acting on specific intelligence inputs about their presence, joint teams of security forces launched a cordon-and-search operation to prevent any escape from the area, as reported by India TV.

During the search, the militants were found hiding inside a cave, triggering a fierce exchange of gunfire. To accurately locate their position, forces deployed drone surveillance, which helped confirm the exact hideout of the terrorists.
Once their location was established, security personnel used a rocket launcher to neutralise the threat. The two militants were killed on the spot, officials said.
Security forces have tightened the cordon in and around Majalta as the operation continues to ensure that no other terrorists are hiding in the region. Further details are awaited as searches and clearance operations remain underway.
