Srinagar: A gun battle is on between Army and an unspecified number of militants
holed up in a house in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir in which two Rashtriya
Rifles personnel were injured on December 16, official sources said.
The encounter began when an Army patrol, on a tip off, reached village Kundpora this
afternoon (Dec 16) and began searching a house, the sources said.
The militants, hiding in a nearby house, lobbed grenades at them and opened heavy
fire injuring JCO Kundan Singh and Sepoy Ravinder Singh.
Army personnel immediately took up positions and returned the fire and in the ensuing
gun battle the house was gutted, the sources said adding the encounter was still
on.
The security personnel have cordoned off the village and reinforcements have been
rushed there, the sources said.
