Local reports said that the encounter began after security forces launched a massive search operation in the area following inputs about presence of terrorists.
This comes a day after four terrorists were killed by security forces in an encounter in Bandipora area of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday.
The BJP-led NDA government at the Centre had on Sunday declared that the forces would resume anti-terror operations, suspended during the month of Ramzan, in Jammu and Kashmir. Following the decision, there have been reports of encounters in different parts of the Valley.
