The shootout comes over a week after the Jammu and Kashmir Police claimed to have shot dead two unidentified militants in a joint operation with Army along the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir's Kupwara district. “Two (02) terrorists have been neutralized in a joint operation of Army and Kupwara Police in Dobanar Machhal area (LoC) of Kupwara district,” a police spokesman had said.
