The first militant was killed in the initial exchange of fire, however, the second militant was killed two hours later. The police have yet to identify the slain militants, but were Pakistanis, according to the police.
After receiving information about the presence of terrorists in the Bishamber Nagar-Dalgate neighbourhood of Srinagar, a joint team of J-K Police and CRPF roped off the area on Sunday morning. The terrorists hiding inside began to fire and tried to break the security cordon as the joint security team was zeroing in on the house. The combined effort returned fire, resulting in a clash.
The militants, according to the authorities, were behind the attack on the CRPF on Tuesday. In Srinagar's Maisuma neighbourhood, militants shot a CRPF soldier from point-blank range, killing him and injuring another.
