Srinagar, Aug 1 (IBNS) Indian Army on Friday claimed to have killed two more militants in an encounter at Keran sector of north Kashmir's Kupwara district, taking the toll to four.

Kashmir (PaK). They were intercepted at the Sondi Gali near Line of Control (LoC).

Sources said that the joint team of army's 15 RR and 7 Gadhwal launched massive combing operations to track down the militants.

the encounter resumed resulting in the death of two more militants.
