Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) : Two Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists were neutralised in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian district on Tuesday in a joint operation conducted by the Indian Army, police and CRPF, said the Inspector General of Police, Muneer Khan.

Speaking to ANI, the Kashmir IG said that two jawans also got injured during the course of the operation.

"The militants firing continued till morning which was replied by the forces. In the morning, bodies of two militants - one foreign and one local Jaish militant - were recovered. We also looked for the third militant, but I think before the cordon was laid he must have escaped. It was group of Jaish militants," he said.

Khan said that the operation was launched after getting information regarding the presence of militants in the Shopian area.

"Yesterday in the evening, we received an information regarding the presence of Jaish-e-Mohammad militants in the Shopian area.
