Two youths – Khalid Muzzafar Wani and Younis Ganai – were killed during army action on Monday in the woods of Kamla in Tral.

The army on Monday said it killed an unidentified militant but later after identification, the ‘unidentified militant’ turned out the brother of Burhan Muzzafar Wani.

The army said Khalid was an Over Ground Worker.

  The police said it recovered the body of Younis, who was a newly-recruited militant, on Tuesday morning.
