Srinagar (PTI): Four militants and two Army jawans were killed in two incidents in Kashmir Valley where six youth were arrested for allegedly attempting to exfiltrate to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) for arms training.
Four militants and an Army jawan were killed in a fierce gunbattle in Kupwara district, a defence spokesman said, adding the encounter erupted on Saturday at Bangas valley, 125 km from here, when security forces launched a search operation to flush out hiding militants.
Efforts are on to ascertain the identity and group affiliation of the slain militants, he said.
The militants were believed to be part of a group who sneaked into the valley from across the border through the Tangdhar sector recently.
In another incident, suspected militants shot dead an army jawan outside his house in Shopian district of South Kashmir on Sunday evening, the spokesman said.
Safzar Ahmad Ganai, who had come on leave, was fired from point blank range by unidentified gunmen around 5 pm at Reshi Nagri locality of Shopian, 52 km from here, he said.
On Saturday, militants shot dead a policeman and injured two CRPF personnel in a twin strike in the city.
