A Hizbul Mujahideen ‘divisional commander’, tasked with reviving militancy in the Pir Panjal valley, was among two infiltrators killed close to the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch, the Army said on Monday.
The Army said the troops, along with the J&K Police, engaged two infiltrating terrorists in a gunfight around 2 a.m. in Degwar Terwan area, close to the LoC.
“One terrorist fell down immediately. The second terrorist tried to run back towards the LoC, was engaged and hit and was seen falling down,” Jammu-based Army spokesman Lt. Col. Suneel Bartwal said.
