Three militants have been killed by the Indian Army in Rampur sector near Uri along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. The Army also recovered five AK-47s, eight pistols and 70 hand grenades from terrorists killed in operation.

The terrorists reportedly had crossed over to the Indian side from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir recently.

Chinar Corps Commander General D.P. Pandey said in the early hours of Thursday, a movement was observed in Hathlanga forest, Rampur sector. "In a brief operation, the attempt was eliminated, with neutralisation of three terrorists," he said.

General DP Pandey said a similar attempt to cross over to the Indian side was foiled recently.
