Srinagar: Four army men and two militants were killed in two separate encounters in North and South Kashmir on Monday.
Official sources said that a group of 4-7 infiltrators had sneaked into this side Sunday night near Darshan post along Line of Control (LoC) opposite to Pakistan’s Chhajula Post. The group of infiltrators were intercepted Monday morning by the army’s 3/1 GR in the dense forest area.
“The group of infiltrators after being challenged opened indiscriminate fire with sophisticated weapons upon the forces, the fire was retaliated by the army ensuing a fierce gunfight”, Army sources said.
In the initial gunfight, four army men including a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) Subedar BB Thapa sustained serious bullet injuries. However, among the injured, three soldiers succumbed to injuries before being evacuated to army’s 92 base hospital here in Srinagar, they said, adding that the condition of the officer is also said to be critical.
Sources identified the deceased soldiers as Lias Naik Aash Kumar, Rifle Man Vishal Gurang and Rifleman Ankeet.
Meanwhile a suspected Lashkher-e-Toiba (LeT) militant was killed in an encounter in south Kashmir district of Kulgama, where a patrol party was attacked, causing death to a soldier on Monday, official sources said.
Official sources said that a patrol party of Ist RR was attacked by militants with automatic weapons at village Kanjkulla Yaripora in Kulgam district this afternoon.
The injured soldier was admitted to Base Hospital at Badami Bagh where he succumbed to his injuries, they said. During the search of the area, a contact was established with militants in the nearby field, ensuing an encounter in which a militant was killed.
Initial report said the slain militant was identified as Imtiyaz of LeT. The operation is over now, they said.
