The anti militancy operation was resumed this morning after remaining suspended for the night and no fresh contact with militants was established. The bodies of both the terrorists were retrieved, a police statement said.
"They have been identified as Sultan Pathan and Zabiullah, both residents of Pakistan and linked with proscribed terror outfit JeM", they said.
"As per Police records, both the killed terrorists were "A" categorised and active since year 2018 in the areas of Kulgam and Shopian districts. Both the killed terrorists had a history of terror crime cases including attacks on Police and security forces, abduction of security personnel, civilian atrocities, Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attacks and weapon looting.
