Three militants, including their local commander, were killed in an exchange of fire during the operation, with security personnel recovering weapons, ammunition and explosives from the scene.
“Sanitization operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored terrorist found in the area,” the ISPR said in a statement.
