Srinagar, Mar 7: With the killing of a top Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) militant last night, search operation in south Kashmir district of Kulgam has ended, official sources said today. A soldier was also injured and has been hospitalised.
This was the second major encounter in south Kashmir after three HM militants were killed by security forces at Tral in south Kashmir Pulwama during the intervening night of March 2 and 3.
As many as 21 militants of Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) and HM were killed this year so far.
Sources said the operation has ended as there was no other militant present in the area.
