JAMMU: Two Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) terrorists were killed in a fierce encounter in the Anantnag district of south Kashmir on Wednesday.

Mobile and internet services were also temporarily suspended in the district in view of the operation.

There has been a sudden spurt in the terrorist activities in the Kashmir Valley with several incidents of attack on security forces and civilians reported recently.
Three days back, a terrorist linked to the JeM was gunned down by the security forces in an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district. The slain terrorist was a Pakistani national, said reports.
