Close on the heels of killing five Pakistani cadres of Hizbul Mujahideen in an encounter in Kangan area of Kashmir valley, security forces on Saturday claimed to have killed four infiltrating militants close to the Line of Control (LoC) in Tangdhar area in Kupwara district.

Official sources said that Army had laid an ambush over specific information that indicated the possibility of a militant group's infiltration from across the river Neelum (Kishen Ganga) in Athmuqam area of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (***) into the Valley.

“Four militants were killed in the midnight operation. Attempts are underway to collect their dead bodies and weapons”, an Army official in Kupwara told The Hindu.

Exactly a month back, the Army had claimed to have killed about a dozen of the infiltrators in a series of encounters along the LoC. However, one of such encounters involving the killing of two men in Machil is in doubt with the recovery of a .12 bore gun as the Pakistani authorities claim that the Indian troops had kidnapped and killed some musk deer hunters.

However, the Army officials on Saturday claimed that the four infiltrators killed in Tangdhar were armed militants killed in a real encounter.
