Monday's operation in Pulwama has come barely 10 hours after civilian protesters helped a group of militants escape a cordon and search operation in the Malangpora village of the same district.

The protesters had clashed with the security forces late on Sunday evening forcing them to call off the operation near the military air base in Koil.
