Nine as per daily Pakistan only. As per Indian news channels number is 2 while four terrorists have been neutralized till now. However we should wait till forces clear out all terrorists and official statement is released.

pak news sources are putting it at 9 martyred and 4 terrorists killed while Indian news sources say 3 martyred 4 terrorists killed.
Question is how do pak news sources know the casualty figures better than Indian news sources? sounds fishy.
Is it another psyops by the enemy?
Any ways militant strikes prove that the valley is infested with infiltrated terrorists and Indias action in valley will be reinforced by such strikes.

The rear formation contained admin & medically not fit for duty soldiers, and freshly arrived elements of newly inducted units.
Promt action by Army & Cammando unit helped in repelling the attack with low casuality rate.
