According to sources, six army personnel have also been injured during the operation, with two of them said to be in critical condition.
Two soldiers have succumbed to their injuries in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam. Four troops were injured and are currently undergoing treatment.
Besides, reports suggest three terrorists have also been killed in the gunfight with security forces. However, official confirmation has only been made regarding the recovery of one terrorist’s body so far.
