Srinagar/IBNS: At least four soldiers received injuries during a fierce gunbattle with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar on Friday, media reports said. 

In a separate encounter in Kathua, troops of the Rising Star Corps killed two terrorists.

In a statement, the army said that based on intelligence inputs, a joint operation was launched with Jammu and Kashmir Police at Kishtwar.

Contact was established with terrorists at 3:30 PM. In the ensuing firefight, four army personnel were injured, the army said.

The operation was underway till the last report was received.

The gunbattle in Kishtwar's Chatroo began after the security forces launched an operation in the area.

The encounter is still going on, the White Knight Corps said in a post on X.

According to reports, these same terrorists were involved in the encounter in Kishtwar and are linked to another encounter in Doda in July, when four soldiers including an officer were killed in action.

The encounters come days ahead of the Jammu and Kashmir election in Kathua that will commence on Sept 18.
