JAMMU: Two suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists were killed when army troops scuttled an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said on Wednesday.

The latest encounter comes two days after security forces eliminated three hardcore terrorists, involved in the Pahalgam terror attack, in a forest in Srinagar.

Codenamed operation “Shiv-shakti”, the army said the two terrorists neutralised in Poonch during the intervening night were attempting to infiltrate into this side from across the border.
