Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police S P Vaid today said they were investigating the firing incident in which six people, including two militants, were killed by the Army in Shopian district.

Vaid said the situation was under control and appealed to the people of Kashmir to maintain peace.

Two weapons, along with other arms and ammunition, were seized from the possession of the militants, who fired upon a joint check-point of the security forces last night, the DGP told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
