Srinagar- The army on Tuesday claimed to have killed two militants in an encounter along the Line of Control (LoC) in Macchal sector of North Kashmir’s Kupwara district.
On specific intelligence inputs about likely infiltration from Macchal Sector from Jammu and Kashmir police and other intelligence agencies including Military Intelligence, a joint operation was launched by army and police in Doga Nar area on the night of June 12/13 where multiple ambushes were laid along the likely routes of infiltration, an army spokesperson said Tuesday.
