Security forces also killed three terrorists of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen at Aishmuqam in Anantnag district

Colonel NN Joshi, defence spokesman at Srinagar, said that acting on a tip-off, the Rashtriya Rifles and the police launched a swift operation to flush them out.

โ€œAs the Army and the police approached the suspectsโ€™ house, the terrorists fired indiscriminately. Exercising strict restraint to avoid any collateral damage to civilians, the Army engaged the three terrorists in a brief gun battle and eliminated them,โ€ he said.

The slain militants were identified as Sartaj Ahmad Lone, Adil Ahmad Sheikh and Tanveer Ahamd Bhat.

โ€œAdil Sheikh was involved in the killing of a policeman, Arif Nazir Khan, in June 16 this year. Tanveer was involved in the killing of a civilian, Javid Ahamd Sofi. Three AK-47 rifles, six magazines, one Under Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL), three UBGL grenades and one pistol with magazine were recovered,โ€ a police spokesman said

In a separate incident, a soldier was killed when his patrol came under heavy firing near the Line of Control in Naoshera sector.

โ€œOur troops retaliated. In the ensuing fight, one soldier was injured and attained martyrdom while being taken to the military hospital. Search operations were still on,โ€ said Lt Colonel Manish Mehta, defence spokesman at Jammu.
