Two millitants have been killed during a wee hour encounter at Pazalpora in the outskirts of  Sopore. 

PRO Army Rajesh Kalia told a local newspaper  that two weapons have been also recovered from the encounter site  but added that the identity of the slain millitants was still to be ascertained, as the sensitization process was still in progress. 

There are however, reports that both millitants are local and belonged to Hizb outfit. The operation was launched late last evening by forces after receiving inputs regarding the presence of millitants in the area  however, the encounter broke out early in the morning which lasted for few hours before both the millitants were killed.
