Srinagar, Oct 11 (IBNS): Two Indian Air Force Garuds, part of a joint security team, were martyred in a gunfight during combined cordon and search operation in Hajin Village of Bandipora district in Kashmir on Wednesday.

The Garuds were operating with the Army.

On the night of Tuesday, an Intelligence report was received by Army, which conveyed that 5-6 terrorists were hiding in a house in Hajin village. 

The joint team laid a cordon around the house on Wednesday early morning.

Terrorists ran out of the house lobbing grenades and firing indiscriminately towards the cordon party.

Two terrorists firing indiscriminately ran towards the position of Garuds who challenged them and killed two terrorists.

In the intense operation, two IAF Garuds {Sergeant Khairnar Milind Kishor and Corporal Nilesh Kumar Nayan} sustained serious multiple bullet injuries.

They were evacuated to Base Hospital in Srinagar where they succumbed to the injuries and were martyred.
