Srinagar, Dec 16 (UNI) Two unidentified militants were killed in an overnight encounter in South Kashmir's Kulgam district, police said here on Thursday.
The gunfight erupted at Redwani Bala late on Wednesday when a joint team of security forces launched a cordon and search operation (CASO) in the area after receiving an input about the presence of militants in the area.

The search operation is still underway in the area.
