"Alert troops spotted suspicious activity and challenged, which resulted in terrorists opening indiscriminate fire. Troops responded with effective fire, neutralising two terrorists. Large quantity of weapons and equipment recovered," the Srinagar-based Chinar Corps said in a post on X.

The operation is in progress, it said.
