The injured soldiers were evacuated to a military hospital, where they later succumbed to their injuries.
According to the Chinar Corps, based on specific intelligence input from the J&K Police, a joint search operation was launched by the Indian Army, J&K Police, and CRPF in the Guddar forest of Kulgam.
Vigilant troops noticed suspicious movement, and when challenged, the terrorists opened fire. A fierce exchange of gunfire followed, during which one terrorist was killed and a JCO sustained critical injuries.
Reports indicate that one of the slain terrorists was a Pakistani national, while the other was from Shopian district of Kashmir.
